believing causes violence?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Depends on what you believe in. If it's a religious matter, history would say : YES. If there is a philosophical matter, or just a point of view about anything, 2 civilized persons should not reach to a level of violence. Once again, your question is not concise, and i can't give you a straight answer.

Answer 3

It's like saying 'mothers give birth to murderers.' No mother gives birth to a 'murderer'. They all give birth to children who later metamorphose into a murderous being.
Very similarly, believing does not cause violence. If we do not believe, we do not live. Belief is what keeps us alive. Belief is what keeps us sane. Belief is what keeps us human. Disbelief in everything would result in various insecurities, psychological problems and possibly, madness.
Belief does not 'cause' violence. This is where 'tolerance' comes into picture. To tolerate other beliefs. Not to be a bigot. Following bigotry is a primary reason for violence. Not 'belief' alone.
I hope it is clearer now.

Answer 4

Trying to force your beliefs on someone else causes violence also.

Answer 5

No, Being violent in belief causes violence.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Believing without doubt makes you a comfortable personality. Forcing your beliefs on someone makes you a weak personality.
Violence is caused by weak personalities.

"You have a head. Why bother using the brains inside?" - one of my school teachers used to say that . It really challenged us.

Answer 8

Yes, because with nothing to back it up, like real evidence and critical thinking, you're reduced to fighting to force your beliefs on others. Religion takes advantage of the defense mechanism called denial. I am scared so I will hide. Either behind daddy when you're small or god when you're big.

Answer 9

even if not against other living creatures - like sacrifice and so on..
or against other living creture - even a humans ( in case with suicides , isliam and separatists )

well it coud be violence against yourself - with violencing you to cut your naturaly embed hunger for understanding the true and understanding meaning and nature of all - with accepting some toughts of someone idiot living in past...

Answer 10

not exactly. If u believe something badly, but there is somone different opinions, it will be no problem if you can understand them. But if you are a stupid, selfish and arrogan one. they are the sources of violence

Answer 11

Sure. But without belief (of one kind or another), our lives would be somewhat impoverished – maybe even meaningless.
