Yes, but I'll say that there's more to it than that: God brings peace, violence, and everything in between.

yeah, no argument from me on this one Rayaan. You got yourself quite a deity there.

As for christianity - well, my folks have been trying to sell me the "peace of god" for years.
Hard to sell anyone on the peace of god when confronted with this list of devout christians:

Jeffrey Dahmer
John Wayne Gacy
Ed Geins
Ted Bundy
Gary Ridgeway
David Berkowitz
Ronald Dominique
...and on and on...

God is, by nature, a peacemaker.
Violence is, by nature, religious.

The German phrase Gott mit uns means "God with us", not God brings peace.

EDIT: The fuck? Why is the board showing Gawdzilla as the one who started the thread and next minute he's responding to the OP???
