All Abrahamic religions are pretty awful... and Hinduism.
If everyone was Buddhist, we would all be better off.

Seems that everyone finds god in prison. Maybe that's where he hangs out between gigs making sure the correct football team wins.

6% non-Christians; a significant number. What you need to ask yourself; Was Jesus for or against killing people?

Ehm - we're talking about Christians, not Jesus. As for the non-Christians (and there are other options than Catholic and Protestant, you know), do you really want to bring up their fate under Nazi rule?

Let's stop pretending, shall we? The people who drove tanks into Poland and France considered themselves Christian. The Wehrmacht had Christian chaplains. "Helm ab zum gebet" wasn't in the drill book for the sight of it.

Well any Christian against the teachings of Christ is not a real Christian.

So what you are saying is that there are VERY few real Christians.

right, because all buddhists are truly peaceful, like all those in japan since the 1300s, or china for more than 5000 years, or in nay other part of the far east.
