President John Adams sent the treaty to the Senate for ratification in May 1797, the entire treaty was read aloud on the Senate floor, and copies were printed for every Senator.

re hypocrits:

Well, actually that depends on the religion in question. Islam instructs its followers to go out and destroy the "infidel" which is precisely what the practitioners of terrorism are doing. Obviously not every Islamist is a terrorist but those who are so are actually not hypocrits.

The Christians? Well, they have a bit of a harder time using their faith to justify war (which is what they want to do anyway). Supposedly Jesus preached against violence but somehow the Christians have managed to find an excuse to make considerable war in the name of religion. Humans are very ingenious creatures. Millions of people have been burned, tortured, maimed or outright slaughtered in the name of Jesus.

Judaism? I am less familiar with that set of religious beliefs. I am not entirely certain as to what their religious edicts instruct them to do. Historically, they often found themselves on the receiving end of another group's hostility. In the past, at least, they were fairly busy defending themselves against hostility reigned on them by others.

Craignman,

I believe you miss the point of the question. We are not debating whether there is any truth to the issue of Jesus. I am asking you to answer what YOU, Craigman, would do differently if there was no Jesus. I asked you a hypothetical question. I hope you are not going to tell me that all of these ethical and charitable things you do in your life along with the way you lead your life are done ONLY because of Jesus. Surely, you are not going to tell me that if Jesus did not exist, you would behave unethically.
