There is more to find out about this. It may appear that religion has caused war and causes war, but for any conflict to exist there is alway a hidden 3rd Part creating it between the two sides. There are always vested interests behind the scenes.This you never see.
Consider this:
A society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.
If you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.
Probably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.
For the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.
The source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.
Unfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others
to forward and promote their enemy propaganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.
The key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:
The spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind.

Wars are caused by people not accepting others not religions, not spirituality, and not other things. There would not be war if things were fair for all people, if people accepted each other, and if people just decided when they feel hate not to hold on to it but to let it go! It is not having it that is the problem it is just when we get together and practice it that we run into problems! Wouldn’t you agree? Some times it is just best to keep things like that to yourself unless you are asked about it, and most people just do not get that!

That's funny! You seem to be intelligent, but you've also missed the fact that a lot of those wars were because of some religions trying to eliminate others, or battling against others, and that would be trying to eliminate ALL the religions. Well, I can definitely say that your beliefs would be met with LOTS of conflict.

Yes totally agree. Keep Christianity because after all its not a religion and it never started any wars at all

Religion is flawed I agree, but I do believe in God and all the bad things that happen are there to test your faith, and all those that keep their faith through tribulations will be saved, all those that fall at the first hurdle (i.e a contradiction in the bible) and with their meager intelligence think they know better, i think they will be lost. I think it's all here to seperate the weeds from the flowers, and its not what religion you follow that defines you, its what you do with your life.

Yes. Yes. YES! YES! Religion is a hypocritical brainwashing system fed to the vulnerable who have nothing else in life to hold onto.
I am a good person, I have good morals, I am honest and will help deserving people. However, I do not need another person religion to determine the goodness in my heart and soul. I am good enough on my own. Oops , , , had to stop myself!

Religion is, but the Muslims are just as bad.
Shall we talk Kashmire? Tibet?
Why is it Muslims, Especially the Shiite who conqured by the sword, won't admit they force religion by the point of a gun!
Christians never did that!
Hinuds, Shiks, Jews, they don't actively convert!
Chrisitans are bad for what they did, but Muslims seem to think they can literally get away with murder, why is that?
Why do Muslims (especially Shiites) think they can ride into a town on horses, hold a sword to your head and say "Praise Allah or die!"
And that has hppaned!
It is documented!
Why do Muslim's think they are so perfect!?
Why does Osama Bin Laden want World Islam?
No other relgion?
Just Islam!
Think about it.
There are 1 billion Islamics in a world of 6 billion.
Not good odds.
I wouldn't go out and try and make World Islam with 5 Billion people who want to not embrace you!
There are 1 Billion Christians
and 500 Million Communists Chinese who want Tibet for themselves.
Thats 1.5 billion agaisnt 1 billtion
There are nother 500 million Hinue
That's 2 billion agaisnt 1 billion.
Think about it
Yu want to go to war. 2 to 1 odds
Not good odds.
Some of the rest of the 3 billioni may not want WORLD ISLAM either!
So now we are talking 2.5 or 3 to 1 odds
Islam tries to play that card and Islam might get their ranks cut from1 billon to a lot less at the sword and nukes of the rest of the world.
Think about that!
Think about 2.5 to 1 odds
Think about ALL of US coming after ALL of YOU with every weapon in our arsenal!
Think about US taking over Mecca!
Islam better grow up and realize it's about 100 years away from doing that feat!
Too soon
Osama jumped the gun
Not enough Moques outside of the Middle East
Wait another 100 years
Even then, expect to get beaten if you come after us with swords!
We will hurt you, Islam, if you don't accept your place in the world as it is
We will HURT YOU, badly!
We will NUKE YOU
Mecca will be an ash
We will INVADE your oil countries and take them over
We will DIPOOSE YOU
CEASE the attempt to take over.
Enjoy what you have!
6 billion people in the world
1 Billion Muslims
Not good odds.
Don't you DARE attempt it until you get 3 billion out of 6 billion!
Got it!
EVERYONE in the WORLD MARCHES AGAINST ISLAM and ISLAM WILL LOSE
5 billioni against 1 billion
NOT GOOD ODDS
Stop being stupid
Jews beat you all the time and they are INSIGNIFICANT in numbers compared to iSLAM
There are like 50 million Jews to 1 Billion Muslims and THEY BEAT YOU each time you go to war
That's something you have to live with
Egypt, Syria, Suadia all wage war
Israel gest the West Bank, Gloan Heights, Gaza
That's a FACT of life!
Next time I beleive ISRAEL gets to KEEP it ALL
Let them keep Lebanon, Syria, Suadia Arabai
If they charge in and take over LET THEM KEEP IT
SPOILS OF WAR
How's that for an aswer!
And I'm not a JEW
But I'm living on land taken from the American Indian and I'm not about to give it back!
If the JEWS march into Berut, let them KEEP IT
Take that you savage Muslims
If you lose, you lose big time!
No more land!
One day you'll have to emmegrate to another country because ISRAEL will control the entire North African Contintent!
LEt them!
More power to the victor!
Banish religion.
How else is peace going to happen!
Religions other than Jewish or Islamics are all for peace!
It's the SEMITES that hold grudges!
Let them fight it out. To the VICTOR!

Its not the religion that causes wars... the men do...
i believe in the existance of God, and also that God loves us and guides us, and He guides us through the prophets and the books. last being the Koran - call it faith or religion , ur choice...
banish everything, ur doomed,
id advise u to reason and check into other religious books...

Yes religion can take you away from what God really desires, better to stick to Christianity which is not a religion.
