text: Yes indeed, Webster.  And, like Timothy McVeigh, all the violence-promoting leaders of the KKK and all the Klansmen convicted of murders have been & are Christians.  And it's Christian extremists who've murdered OB-GYNs and still threaten Planned Parenthood workers & clients.  And it's Christian Americans who've burned down predominantly black churches and murdered children & other parishioners in them.  Even white Christian pastors in the South long condoned the evil of slavery (and Klan terrorists & lynchings even past the mid-20th century).  Like the Quran or any other mythology collection, the Bible offers so many tales and inconsistent messages from which devotees cherry-pick & interpret passages to suit their own desires or biases.  And hatefully deranged devotees will, of course, pick passages to misuse to try to 'justify' their violent intentions and actions.
  
  For me, EVERY brand of religious zeal poses dangers to a civil society.
