i'm not agree with you chicky on this point. you have to see that many ppl (fanatics) kill for ideas in the name of God. And remember the crusades when christians tried to convert arabs to our God. Have a look on the great Ridley Scott's movie 'Kingdom of Heaven'. Spanish tried too, when they discovered America. Howw many many Indians been killed coz they refused to be converted to our God..............
That's great babe, but we already decided that people interpret God in alot of ways, and sometimes they take it too far. God shall try to steer you in the right direction, but who's to say that people have the wrong idea.
It's like when you child first gets his drivers licence. You can preach and preach and preach abuot getting into accident, and getting killed. But only the child themselves can really decide if they'll take the percautions.
And it's great to believe the movies, but remember that native americans were killed more because they were a threat to what the Spanish, French and English wanted to do. They wanted the land, and if people were already living on it, that becomes a problem.
So frankly Frenchy, we can argue all day about who's right, and who's wrong when it comes to the extent of how far you take the religion. People of the opus dei will tell you differently than some other people. Unless you're God, taking lives into your own hands, is a very cocky move.
