Sometimes, I think religion is to blame for many of the evils in the world. I just saw a thing on the BBC about a terror plot foiled—apparently, these individuals planned on beheading a British Muslim soldier and posting a video of it on the Internet. Today, when I was running in Greenpoint (Greenpoint has traditionally been a very Polish, thus, white neighborhood), several cars had swastikas and anti-Semitic comments and symbols drawn in the snow on the hood of the car. I was so angry and did my best to wipe them out, and was not struck by the irony of anti-Semitic comments followed by, “Jesus loves everyone.” Yeah, everyone except you, you hateful jerk, is what I thought.
Reminds me of the bumper sticker my mom loves, "Jesus may love you but everyone else thinks you're an asshole."

it's really not even as broad as religion, in my opinion: it's the christian Wrong. dating all the way back to the crusades to the present day....most of the people i have heard of that are hate-filled assholes like these you encountered affiliate as christian.
but then, maybe i'm wrong.
I don't think it really has anything to do with religion.
I think it has even less to do with Christianity.
I think it is just assholes being assholes.
