Religious intolerance is just another false pride, like sexism,
racism, and nationalism.
Not that having pride is bad, but it easily turns to false pride.
Thinking one is better, which is only a cover for the fact
one lacks self-esteem.
We cannot blame any of these things for what are really
common human failings.

Religion is not the reason for human Failing...Religion is just a way of life, no matter what religion it is...
the cause of whatever Human failing, is the Human themselves...since we all have the brain to think ,decide and live!

All the worlds religions are the creation of those that came after the founder. The inspiration for whatever the founder came up with is usually lost on the followers, and the further you go in time the more this separation grows. The failings of the religions are due to lack of wisdom of those who came after. That is why religion gets blamed, for it is the expression of the "human failings" you speak of.

anyplace human beings are in contact, there will be issues, I agree. many human beings do decide religions consistent with human failings and not based on the main amazing coaching of the religion which quite isn't a logical area of do, yet there you have it. different human institutions and structures are judged that way besides. Many decide capitalism consistent with human failings, even though it quite is not all undesirable, it in simple terms needs to be regulated. We decide Communism consistent with human failings. On paper, that gadget sounds surprisingly stable, yet just about speaking it would not artwork in any respect because of the fact of human failings and the technique of attempting to determine Communism ends up in a number of the main terrible habit we've ever seen.

Religion is a Human failing. We have evolved to the point where we can ask the question "Why?", but have not evolved yet to the point where. "I don't know ......YET" is acceptable until we do know. The made-up answers of religion can suffice, but when these superstitious answers become ingrained in our societies, they are to be feared for the intolerance and suffering they cause as each of them try to out-breed each other or kill each other to demonstrate whose god is more loving. When the end goal of these ingrained superstitious beliefs is the end of the world, it is a good idea to marginalize such rubbish.

Dang, CJunk stole my thunder, and Ed Sawyer had an even better response. I don't know that it's so much an intolerance issue. Many of us with the attitudes like ED/CJ get that way because of the constant badgering, prostheletizing, hipocracy of modern religion.

Actually I think somebody else said it already. I'm a Christian. Therefore, I I don't blame anyone. I would blame it on my sinful nature if you understand that, but if you understand that faith you would have to say that was wiped out by Christ's death. So who is to blame? Noone. People who blame (including myself sometimes I admit)are just looking for excuses. Instead of blaming people and wasting time and energy, we should start finding and working on solutions.

I don't blame religion for human failings. Well, except for the fact that religion generally innoculates people against reason and logic and thinking for themselves. I definitely blame religion for that.

Humans have enough problems without the failings of religion to complicate things even further.

Very few people have the courage to accept full responsibility for their actions. If they do something and it goes wrong they look for a scapegoat. "The Devil made me do it!", "I had a rotten childhood!", "I was corrupted by the Church!", "It's a conspiracy by the (pick your target of choice)!" are all common cop outs by people who don't want to admit that their decisions and actions are on them alone. If I hit a man in the nose it's because I made that decision, if I get arrested, sued, or just get my tail kicked it's all on me. Most people just can't accept that.
