Your ambiguity is remarkable. What could possibly be a better system (or environment for a child) than one in which man is encouraged to love his neighbor as himself? Heaven knows we need more selflessness in this day and age.

Before bad mouthing a faith almost two thousand years old, I would appreciate a direct quote from the bible that proves this outrageous claim of yours. Additionally, I would like to comment that I think your confusing the bible with man's reaction to it. For instance, man is encouraged to repent of his sins and prove his repentance by doing good deeds. Even the best of Christians, however, struggle to follow such teaching on a daily basis because of our sinful nature. Likewise, there have been and continue to be people (so called "christians") who use the bible as an excuse for crimes they commit (be they murder or otherwise). This shows the corruptness of man not the word of God. Like you, I disdain such people (even more so for twisting the words of the bible, as you do in this thread). I suspect moderate Muslims have similiar feelings in relation to how extremists misuse the koran to sponser terrorism.
