Why are we killing off our own kind???

Question

I mean look at the world we live in today. Wars are going on around the world where people are killing each other. Gangs are killing each other, and don't get me started on hospitals and diseases. Honestly I see no reason for anyone to even think about killing any human or anything for that matter. I do understand we need to kill for food, but it's not like we are eating our own kind!
Can someone please give me a good answer to this may as well be unknown question?

Also why has a friendly game of tag become who will die first?

Answer 1

I'm struggling to come up with a GOOD reason, just plenty of BAD ones:
Greed, fear, pride, resources, laziness, not enough money.

Answer 2

We feel we are not killing our own kind. We see ourselves as different from other Humans.

We will always have differences. If Belief is a reason for killing, then killing will continue as it has done since the big bang.

I am genetically different from an Africans. given the choice I would fight for the survival of my genetics and I would expect Africans to do the same.

I see your point about gangs killing each other but I think that is black killing Hispanics etc. which I understand fully.

Would you see immigrants from say Gambia come into your local housing area and steal from gardens and steal cars
TVs etc. They then take the nice jobs by undercutting existing wages, thus making the poor in your community poorer.

Now you cant blame the new immigrants they are just doing what they know best. The only way to survive in modern life.

Next a couple of girls get raped in your town by Gambians, then somebody is held up and shot dead. Now in Gambia death is nothing so big deal. Do you fight back or just move out and then a new gang move in and fight back and then more death.

My conclusion is education. primitive people will behave in a primitive manner. We all need educated but that doesn't suit the wealthy.

It is easier and cheaper to deal with the crime than it is to deal with a very intelligent mass of people.

Greed, Lust of Power, Religion
---------------------------

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Greed for money and power. We use other countries to make money (oil) and we make it a point to show them how powerful we are through military action (control) The world is a sad and unaware place. That's why most of time, it can be better to tune out.

Answer 5

Ever since Cain killed Abel, we have been in a non-stop bloodbath. Sin destroys lives. The 6th Commandment says "Thou shalt not kill". Jesus said that if you even have hatred in your heart unjustly, you also commit murder against that person in your heart. So if you even hate someone unjustly, it is the same as murder to God.
