  Dude, you are merely parroting a false perception of Christianity, rather than speaking from any facts you have personally explored yourself. You are doing the very same thing you accuse Christians (and Muslims?) of doing. True Christianity demands that everything be tested objectively before simply believing it, or at the very least testing who/what is making a claim. Do you even know how much of what is passed off as scientific "fact" doesn't even begin to stand up to real scientific inquiry? If you do in fact want to find out what is true and what is not, test the claims made by both sides using the scientific method. Until you have done this, you would do well to keep your more intelligent than thou attitude to yourself. BTW, your name speaks volumes about how little you know of historically verifiable history.

  Religion is the main divider in the country. It is so because christianity and the islamic religions do not allow for dissent. You must believe by faith (gullibility) without the use of your reasoning mind. "Belief" to them, trumps historic verification and corroboration of facts. It also refuses to even look at science objectively given what we know, truly know, about the world. These people do not even understand how we know things. They are so unfamiliar with the concept of critical thinking that they think to "know" is to repeat to yourself and others over and over means to know what is "true". They do not understand that there are scientific ways of determining truth--real truth.
