"The bible, in the modern era, is used as a book of faith and only the most bigotted of critics, narrow-minded and one desperate to promote some sort of twisted moral equivalence would say that it - as a treatise - promotes or in any way encourages barbarism, or "spew hatred, revenge, are dictorial".
Plenty of verses in the old testament talks of a dictatorial god who sounds very much like a rogue leader.
"The Koran and Islam, on the other hand, is precisely that so on that point I'd go with geo - that one needs to be controlled - big time!!!"
Clearly this book was written by men as was the bible.
"That aside, geo - your platonic, utopian world is something that we perhaps should all aspire to but - in the here-and-now - in the real world - it simply cannot be "the plan". As the saying goes, "Walk softly but wield a big stick"."
Peace is not as elusive as you think providing you ignore those that beat the drums of war. Peace is a personal thing that is achievable by everyone. Remember if the masses turn their backs on rogue leaders those leaders will fall.
