Mine does not. Mine does not consider killing as an option. That is because I am not religious, but spiritual. Spirituality needs to be distinguished from religion, because they are two opposites. Spirituality is incompatible with religion.
Religion is based on a dogma. Spirituality is based on realization, but no commands, and no dogma are attached to spirituality.
Anything that is centred around a dogma is likely to attract an anti-thesis, and is likely to support divisions.
True spirituality comes from within a person, not from a book, or an institution. Only an advanced Soul, one that is wise and sufficiently pure, can reach enlightenment, i.e. a comprehensive set of realizations about life. One such person was Mahatma Gandhi. He relinquished any form of violence, and to show that he did not support any particular religion against another, he was regularly reading to his followers from the bible, the koran, and from buddhist scripts.
Unfortunataly, he and others who are different to the majority, albeit by not being able to hate, become targets of hate, themselves. As a man of peace he was murdered. As a man of love, Christ was crucified. Christ was not religious. He was spiritual. Religion was something that was invented in his name three hundred years after his death. Mistaken are those who, in the name of religion, abuse the name of their spiritual founders, to hating and persecuting others. Such people have their hearts filled with poison and only abuse religion as an excuse to evil.

No not in my religion, Islam. so no sk83rChick Muslims don't. There is to be no force conversion or killing over religion and opinion in Islam. Just as the Klu Klux Klan are not real Christians even if they claim to be terrorists etc are not true Muslims. for your information, while the christian religion was spread through the sword and force conversion, Islam was not but through word. In the past, only very few cases did any violence occur in the name of conversion, unlike the widespread violence that has historically occurred in the name of Christianity.

Well, Christianity doesn't, but obviously Islam does. When the Muslims don't have any infidels to slaughter, the Sunni and Shiite sects pass the time by blowing each other up in really vicious ways, like an 18-year-old suicide bomber blowing up a bunch of elderly people at an old-folks home.

Believing in God rather does not justify homicide! He by no skill needed something close to that. He needs to unfold the stable information of affection, no longer horror. Misinterpreting the Bible is why there are maximum of divisions of Christianity--people do no longer agree. many people do no longer look for the certainty, yet what they prefer to be the certainty: some thing that makes them sense extra appropriate. probable this is why maximum of atheists sense hatred in the direction of faith. I propose, the Crusades replaced into terrible, and the Catholics thoroughly USED "god" to get authority. It replaced into incorrect. actual believers do no longer try this.

I am a Pagan, (celtic)
no we do not justify killing over a differance in belief or the religion of another, and as far as research has shown they never did...
however, to protect your land or property, it was ok.
there was no death penalty in celtic law either.
no man has the right to take the life of another man unless he is defending the life of his family or himself.

My faith and my religion requires acknowledging all other spiritual paths as valid for those who choose to follow them. So, killing is killing but it has nothing to do with the reasons why people choose to kill.

In now way does my faith allow the killing of any human being except in self defense.

No. My religion is always progressive. Stagnation causes strife, true religion is always searching and when found there is no more searching, no more religion and no differences. My sky looks as blue as yours. Differences are only mindworks.
