How can Christians condemn another religion as inherently violent when their own binding documents depict their God as extremely violent, one who commands genocide and for whom mass killing seems to be his preferred method of conflict resolution (think Noah and the flood)? The author then cites one example of god commanding mass murder, says there is no historical evidence, and therefore god isnt a mass murderer. Okay, many of these mass slaughters lack physical evidence (Noahs flood, first borns at Passover, etc), but there are many cases documented in history of Christians slaughtering others (Crusades, Library of Alexandria, etc). My thoughts are that ALL THESE RELIGIONS holy books are ambiguous in that they call for love and peace AND war and martyrs. Its up to the people what to focus on, and some people have always chosen violence cloaked in righteousness. Who needs a devil when the holy books suffice?
