Well it depends if we were all the same denomination of Christianity then yes it would be fine. We would all be in agreement about how the world should be and accept the consequences of that. Even those groups which Conservative Christians are hostiles too such as gay people would be fine as they would not be "practicing homosexuals" or believe that they would stop being gay through being closer to god; I admit thats a gross oversimplification of the relationship between homosexuality and Christianity but you get the picture.

If we were all Christians but divided into different sects (and considering there would now be 7 Billion thats quite likely) then we may be in trouble...

Christianity is a very broad religion, encompassing all sorts of attitudes.

This. So much this.

If everyone was Christian, there would still be intolerance and a lot of hate (same goes with any religious beliefs). Christians disagree with each other on religious matters all the time. Catholics vs Protestants, anyone? There's also the intolerance that can spawn from Christianity (I am aware that there are loving Christians, btw. Not trying to generalize). Then there are also types of hate and conflict where religious beliefs are irrelevant.

So, basically, unless everyone had the exact same religious beliefs there would be still be a lot of conflict. Even then people would still find reasons to discriminate against one another.

Why is there even a thread asking people's opinions on something Ann Coulter said? The woman is a professional troll and I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't actually believe half the crap she says. This is like a thread about whether you were pissed off that Anakin Skywalker killed younglings.

Those kids clearly had it coming. A really biblical thing too, butchering children like so many unwanted puppies.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.
