That depends on your measure. They're probably overall roughly equal in their inclination to use violence to advance their interests. The Christians are of course far more violent in the effects of that inclination, since they have access to far more powerful weapons and a far larger, more powerful, and more well-trained military. The Jews have a similar advantage (if you want to call it that).

To begin with, I'm a Christian. And, if you'd actually read what Jesus taught you'd see that He has called us to love our neighbors like we love ourselves. He instructed us that if someone slaps you, offer them the other cheek. If someone wants your shirt, give them your jacket too. Have there been people who have committed violent acts in the "name of God"? Yes- and they were misled, to say the least. Christians are not perfect- far from it, that's why we rely on Jesus. I know I've made mistakes- everybody does. But, God expects us to live our lives following the example of Christ. Jesus came to Earth to help us- and God expects Christians to help people, too. Don't judge all Christians based on individuals.

All people are equally capable of intolerance, greed, thirst for power and pride...which is what leads to conflict. Religion is simply the convenient name given to the cause in order to make that which is hideous appear glorious.

Yes. Though on how violent, it's up to debate.
Mahatma Gandhi too was violent, but how violent?

I am not an xtian...I am a Christian. My God does not endorse violence. He teaches love, compassion, self control, charity, forgiveness, and acceptance.
