Yes. The whole Old Testament talks of war and Jesus was crucified by the Jews and his followers were oppressed and killed. The Roman Empire used religion as a statecraft. Ever since Muhammad was known to the world and there after ti is a sordid story of continuous war in the name of protecting various religious groups. The process continues till these days of Adolf Hitler, Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. You are so correct!

I agree insofar that People are blind and will be stupid and stupidly led to death in the name of a god. That People are brainwashed to some extent into believing they are immortal and will stand as a sword to gods will. The Romans would relegion their Legions, training them to fight and sending them into battle even freeing slaves to become soldiers. When Constantine made the churches join and wanted the newly founded Catholic church to grow the same relegioning practice was put in place.
With the relegioning becoming religion and dieing for King, God and Country the ultimate honor. It is really hard to believe that "War camps" or at least sides have not been drawn.

I agree that the factions of individual religions have not only separated makind but man in their own camps. Catholics against baptists, Orthodox Jews against Reformed Jews or Messianic Jews, etc. It is a shame that people do not know how to transcend a label and come to commonality through the simple fact of being human.

Yes, that's true. And as long as we stay divided that way, we will stay at war. But two new camps have begun to rise to the forefront: those who hate and those who refuse to hate. The battle still rages, but as the ranks of those who refuse to hate increases, the desire for war decreases.
I will never join a religion that preaches war. Ever.

The inhabitants of the international has been attempting to kill one yet another interior the call of religion on condition that time began. it fairly is stunning how one team can annihilate yet another team as a manner to tension them to have faith. a lot of world history has been replaced, a lot of civilizations destroyed as a manner to maintain them. And yea... i've got faith all non secular doctrine is a fairy tale... the two that, or a nightmare.

No. Man seperates himself, for it is his nature. It is just that "religion and politics" are the easiest areas to justify oneself. They are the two areas that constantly says, "I'm right, and you are wrong." Something we all want to say anyway. However, take away religion and make us all one "global community," we will still kill one another based on race, money, or other "moral issues."

No. Humans have been divided into warring camps because they want what they want when they want it.

No. The tampering and altering of the truth has seperated man.
John 14:6-Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
