Interesting little thing about history books, champ. I'm reading through my McDougal Littell "The Americans" History Book from my History class. I was perusing it in search of Christianity, and to your credit, it's in there. However, after reading it, I was blessed to see that it presented christianity from a mainly-facts only basis. It didn't talk about scripture and the belief structure as much as it did about the progression of christianity. It discusses the Reformation, and the split between Catholicism and Protestantism, and it also brings the Crusades into the picture as well.
Now if you were to read the information in this book. It shows that if you were to take a step back and look at Christianity as a whole, it has been plagued with arguing, greed, blind control, needless slaughter, and biased change. Drumkid, have you ever considered that your faith could possibly be totally diferent than what the religion was initially created to be? After all, we are talking about a span of over 2000 years between what actually
might have happened to the point where you base your religion on it. Roll those around a bit. I can elaborate further on any of the points I previously stated, and in the end I really don't care what you think drumkideric, why don't you go be gay?

Same as Christianity.
