   I agree it can be USED as a tool to hate. But that doesn't make the tool   
   evil,   
   only the one who uses it.   
   Do you think Hitler was a Christian? Really?   
   He was an Occultist.   
   He used the Passion to fuel anti-semitism.   
   Would any REAL Christian accept that?   
   I don't think so.   
      
   As for the violence? I agree. Not for children.
