    I have no problem with _that_ statement, as I've opined.

    The problem I have is your equating the reported words of a teacher with any religion used as such a tool.

    The words of Christ is not Christianity, nor are they warfare.

    The words of Einstein are not the atom bomb.

    The words of neither started any war.
