You can build 2 schools and 2 charities without a god too.

Go search Google for 'scandal' and 'Red Cross' or 'Harvard' or 'Yale' for some fun reading.[/b]
I wasn't saying that you needed to believe in God to found those organizations. I was saying that Christians founded those organizations. That certainly could contradict your generalization that their beliefs "cause nothing but death and suffering". On the contray, those same beliefs also provide alot of humanitarian aid to the needy.

I am not saying that you are wrong. I happen to agree that many of the conflicts in the history of mankind were caused by a religious disagreement. I was just bringing your statement back to center.

I looked up "scandal" on google as you suggested. I did find the reading to be interesting, but I couldn't understand why you pointed it out. It seemed to me to be the normal corrupt corporate dealings, just like any other organization in the world. It didn't seem to fit in with this discussion.
