Churches: pretty. Religion: not so much

In his most recent lecture, Pope Benedict XVI tried to rally his supporters and followers to keep the faith in response to the recent attack in Egypt, where a bomb killed 21 people outside a church. He asked followers and governments to join efforts in combating religious persecution. I am intrigued by his use of the phrase "religious persecution," because his own religion is so happy persecuting other people. Here you have the Pope verbally fighting against people that don't accept his religion, yet his religion so happily rejects other people and their beliefs. Not to get too judgmental or anything, but honestly, what happened to treat people the way you would like to be treated by them?
Also, I do not condone the violence brought to those people. In fact, it's awful. No one likes people being hurt. Well, most people don't like it. I think religion is the last thing in the world that should ever be fought for or against with violence, and certainly, killing and bombing people will never be the best way to get people to join your cause. So really, the bombing is the exact wrong way to go about getting your word out to the people.
Anyway, having said that, I still see an incredible hypocrisy in what the Pope said the other day. You've just got to love how religions see the good only in themselves, protect only themselves, and feel that everyone else should respect only them. Also, that everyone should change their beliefs and follow them. So, while the bombings didn't help the bombers, nor did it help the Catholics, so, in the end, people are dead, and no one benefits.
