It makes me mad to see how many hate groups use Christianity as an excuse for violence and destruction, "in the name of God". It repells those who might otherwise consider it. Gods people are not haters, and if you think the KKK and others are really Christians, they're not. God wouldn't instruct his people to kill their brothers and sisters because they are a different race. He made us all. (was watching a thing on the "Klan" on the history channel that got me thinking about it)
Anyone who has hate in their heart towards someone,( just like the shiites are doing now), aren't following the teachings of Jesus.

Exactly.
'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is the great and foremost commandment. "And a second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." (Jesus quoted by Matthew 22:37)

If there were a devil, I would think that he's failed to convince the world that he doesn't exist. Too may people believe in him and spend their lives trying to avoid hell and get into heaven. The funny thing is, many of those same people are headed towards hell anyway. Dante, after all, had more than his share of popes in his version of the undeworld.

The demons stay in the background as long as you are not following Christ. But the moment you honestly try to serve him you will be attacked. Prayer is your main defense against these scumbags.

God did instruct Moses to smite his enemies. At least that's what Moses said.

No. The devil is a scapegoat. The best trick ever played was men in power convincing everyone else that there was a devil to keep the people in line.

You are right............there is a devil, he is real, and he has tricked, and is tricking millions into believing he is either non-existent, or harmless. These are lies, for he is the 'father of lies'.
