    Yes, you said 'the words of Christ', and that is why I made the comment I did.

    The words of Christ are not the memes of xianity. And the words are not what are being used. In fact, I am wondering just exactly you _are_ talking about when you say 'the memes of Christ', because, I think you're blowing them all out your rectal orifice.

    Granted- so, which ones are they using? Be honest. The memes of conquest can indeed flourish in the minds of people 'indoctrinated' (as you say) in the memes of non-conquest. Or does 'turn the other cheek' mean something else to you?

    BTW- I am not a xian.
