A slight aside on that point if I may. When discussions of religious extremism and hatred come up (for example, the Koran-burning nutter, or the Crusades), Christianity gets a kicking from people who say 'I thought it was all about love, peace and forgiveness'. Yet when Herr R. pardons (i.e. forgives) someone, he's lacking moral fibre.
We're damned if we do and damned if we don't sometimes.
(By people that is. Not by God, thankfully.
