how come people get really fanatical about religon, so much they kill over what some guy wrote 2000 years ago?

Question

i mean really wat pushes these people so much that they kill, it's just religon

Answer 1

I'ts just not about religion but BELIEF. When peoples BELIEF becomes a part of who they are it becomes a part of thier ego. It becomes something they will die for because it's what gives them hope and security about things unknown. Now you take a belief in one god/person/teaching and put it up against another belief of a god/person/teaching then trouble starts. It's not so much about the Belief per se but when one group IMPOSES their own version of it on another group then thats when the bloodshed occurs. Basically it becomes Ideology vs Ideology not just from a religious point of view but from a political one as well.

In other words trouble starts when someone says.

My Imaginary friend with his Imaginary Ideas is better than YOUR Imaginary friend with HIS Imaginary Ideas.

Answer 2

Belief is a strange thing that transcends hope. Hope is something which doesn't alter external reality. Belief by it's very nature is something which engenders itself so strongly in the psyche as the right thing to do that others who aren't practicing it must be wrong, and one they're either poor idiots for not believing it - or two, they need to be "shown" the proper way to exemplify that particular belief.

This holds true in many more facets of life than religion.

After all, most common sense is a belief system as well.

<> purely because something it legal does no longer mean it is correct. <> there's a reason you won't be able to spell 'assume' without '***'. those who assume too a lot finally end up making asses of themselves. <> would not make experience, does it - and yet, there you're advocating human beings purely assume the authorities is sweet! <> incorrect! <> ad hominem assaults damage your credibility. possibly Marc, like me, would not see too a lot contained in the way of credibility even as reading your question. <> The time period "fetus" actually ability "the more youthful contained in the womb". The fetus IS a residing man or woman. existence starts at theory, no longer start nor some arbitrary consider between. hence, each and every abortion constitutes the homicide of an unborn man or woman. <> besides the undeniable fact that the fetus IS human. hence, abortion IS homicide. <> what's so narrow minded about acknowledging the unborn for the residing people they're? because you're unable to attempt this, does no longer that propose your options is in fact extra narrow than mine? <> That purely is going to illustrate how schizophrenic human establishments must be - and also you want to assume the form of company (the authorities) is sweet.

Answer 4

It is relevant to note that killing in the name of an ideology is not limited to religion.

Atheists in power killed 70 million to 100 million in just the 20th century.

This is far more than have been killed in any war involving religion.

Most wars are fought over culture and resources (rather than over religion).

Cordially,

Emotional dependence. Attacking their idols produces a reaction to destroy the blasphemer.
