Do you belive religeos diffrences halts peace process between nations ?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Sure, along with economic factors, other cultural factors, the desire to increase land and power, and the list can go on. Pride also halts the peace process, probably more than anything. Sometimes there are also just bad people out there that you can't negotiate and make peace with. People are much too dynamic and complex to single one factor out as being the cause of war. Sometimes the real cause isn't the most obvious one as well.

Answer 3

It is a fact of life several religions hold the area in the Middle East has a Holy land. It's only normal that each wants the Holy land for them selves. Think about it the tourist money that come to the country that holds that land. Also the public opinion when a bomb is dropped on the land Jesus walked. The land captures the hearts of all religions and it followers.

Answer 4

Sure does. For time immemorial it has happened. A few examples.

Walls of Jericho coming down.

Romans against Christians. Rome said they were anarchists.

The crusaders against the Muslims

The Roman Church against nations described as being heretics. To make sure, the popes had their own armies to ensure this.

Napoleon took away the power of the church so they had no part in his conquests and negotiations;

The problem in Northern Ireland still is not resolved, strictly for religious reasons

Answer 5

In most instances the causes of conflict are not religious, but are socio-economic. Religion becomes the line of demarcation between warring parties, simply for the fact that most people have a hard time reconciling with their conscience the killing of innocent people due to monetary or territorial gain. Invoking religion gives ones homicidal endeavors a loftier tone; a nobler quality. You see you are not killing the Jew for a strategic spot in the Middle East, you are doing it because its God will to root out spiritual infidelity. You are not invading a Iraq to reap the economic benefits of one of the largest oil reserves in the world, you doing it to bring people to freedom they way God would have intended. So the line of “reasoning” goes. Spirituality, faith, religion, or whatever you want to call it, merely becomes the veneer that is painted on bloodshed to make it more palatable to otherwise moral people.

Answer 6

Over the course of history, more wars have been fought over religious differences than anything else. (Perhaps second to land disputes.)

The thing is, that there will always be people that take their religion more to heart than others - to the point they will defend it with death (be it theirs or others).

Unfortunately, the nature of human beings being what it is, it if isn't religion it will be something else. There will not be peace until the human race is extinct. There will always be differences of opinion and always be someone willing to take that difference to the end.

Answer 7

Look in any history book .... nations rise and fall due to peoples' ease of being skillfully manipulated in the name of whatever deity is "hot" at the time .....

Answer 8

Yes, religion differentiates people.

A farmer in Jordan is just as concerned about his/her crops and family as a farmer in Argentina or America.

Answer 9

Yes very much so. Religion teaches people to be self righteous which interferes any communication whatsoever.

Answer 10

Religious differences get in the way of virtually everything we do in life, only if you allow it.
If you're a mench, you get along with everyone.
