Well then, common sense should teach you that you will experience all types of personalities in every faction of your life. Home, work, school, activities, and church. Some people will be the very best examples of man's good to man, and others will be the very worst.
Don't judge a group of people by one persons actions.
Many of your statements encompass the actions of a few throughout all history and don't pertain to the masses.
ie.
"A modern day world where images of death and torture are worshiped every week," I assume you are talking about the crucifix hanging on the walls of many Christian churches. My religion doesn't believe in doing this. We have no crosses marking any of our buildings, chapels, wear as jewelry, etc. If Christ would have died by hanging from a rope we probably wouldn't commemorate a rope. But, on the other hand, the symbol of the Cross is a reminder of the love Christ had for us, not torture.
