yes, and misdeeds is definitely the right word. they weren't just wrong by today's standards, but even contradicting the teachings of each of our faiths respectively.

i think that Lukas confusing you and Smitty was a joke, in reference to Smitty asking if Dan Silverman and HyperGraph are the same person.

but that's a good summary of Christianity, no mistakes. and what you write about Islam is similar to what i've read in "a spectator's guide to world religions", which is promising as far as the reliability of that book is concerned, since i'd take your word about a Muslim's beliefs over that of a book written by a Christian (though i was pleased with how unbiased it comes across). have you read it?
