text: The Bible, the Koran, and any other religious texts "matter" to me only in their impact on the way followers treat others, the creatures of the earth and the earth itself.  If those texts promote decent, respectful, compassionate actions....great.  If they promote intolerance and condemnation of "others",......no so great.  Much good has been done in the name of those texts.  Unfortunately, much evil has been done as well.  Fundamentalist radical Muslims condemn Christianity.  Fundamentalist radical Christians condemn Islam.  That's working out real well, isn't it.    Gary Crum
