I will have to get back with you on the seed of Abraham part after I have time to do some research on it.

> As for the bigotry of religion, you will get no argument from me there. However, I would like to point out a few things about that. First, the RCC started out on the wrong foot altogether, and one could say that from their very inception they broke the laws according to the Bible. Here are just a few small examples.
> 
>

• They changed the Sabbath
>
• They changed the 10 commandments (Removed number 2, split number 10)
>
• They quit celebrating the last supper (the only holiday madated in the bible)
>
• They knowingly took a pagan holiday for the Birth of Christ (winter solstice)-Minor clarification: Not the solstice, but the day celebrated as the God Mithras's birthday.->
• They knowingly took a pagan holiday for the death of Christ (Spring Equinox)
>
• They violated the 2nd commandment
>
• Violated the instruction to 'be no part of the world'(the 'world' is used to intricate political entities..
>
• By claiming special priviledges with governments the violated the command to 'Give Caesars things to Caesar..'
>


> etc etc etc... 
> 
> So, my argument for what you said would be that men are the cause of all the atrocities. Not, the Bible or the Koran.-I would agree. Men with ambitions of power and wealth.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
