A very true statment, as many so called believers in God do in fact go to war against their fellow man, and persecute one another in the name of their own religion, even amongst the Christians.
It happened centuries ago, and does to this very day, the evidence is around for us all to see.
This does in fact go against what the bible preaches.

Thats not rude at all Gary.
The bible is Gods word, in written form!
If you believe that of course!!!
It was once far fetched to me, I was bought up by non believers, that is what I was taught by them, there was no God.
Adult hood, and a whats it all about attitude made me ask questions to myself, and I started reading The Bible.
It confused the heck out of me, especialy the old stuff!! Down right scary infact!
Searched deeper, went to the history books, checked stuff out for myself, and my mind started wondering more, did God create or are we from Monkeys!!!!
The evidence in The Bible, and the history books was enough for me, and then of course it does go in to deeper things as well..........so short story is, from one fetched up by atheists, I am one of those through my own investigation, became to believe in creation by a inteligent designer!!!
I love monkeys though!!
