People do not kill people (just kidding of course).
Religious Leaders of Church Empire kill people. Why? Because absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you give anyone, even your mate, too much power, it is only a matter of time until he or she will become corrupt.
I do not believe that there is such a thing as a benevolent dictatorship. (Well maybe in the beginning, but just wait and see.)

they kill each other because they think that if they don t , the other person with an other religion, will eventually gain enough popularity and everyone else will convert to that religion, and a religion comes with a set of beliefs, and rules, and if that person thinks these values are not conform to theirs, and will distroy all he was brought up with, and what his church or sinagog ect thought him or her, then the other religion must be eliminated or their religion will be eliminated, so what it boils down to is, fear, fear of the future, fear of what others think, fear that truth will not prevail, fear of things that are not understood from other countries, fear of being lied to, fear of having your fundamental ethics taken away , and lots more fears, but if your really want to know if a government is good to their people, look at what goods the country has, are they living in poverety and being controled by dictators, or are they having the good of the lands and live in liberty?, because religion, for a governement , is not about fundamental beleifs, its a tool to manipulate population, and in some countries they use historical values, language, politics,ect. but religion has been for humanity a powerfull way to be controled, do you think God sitting up there says "well, the catholics...mmm...lets burn them, the protestants...well...burn half of them...and the jews...take all of them...thats rediculous, God never invented any religion, thats all man made, you might find some of God's thruth in some religions, a little bit here and a little bit there, but these are only samples, and truths were reveiled to some poeple and they got all exited, thinking they have the whole truth and what do they do, , , they start a new religion, God's truths are like all the gains of sand in the world...try to count that, and a truth is equal to not even one grain, but only one side or one face of that grain, and some people start a new religion over that, and thats why they kill each other, over a grain of sand...
hope this helps ...this was my grain of salt...lol

Humans kill in the name of many things. In religions, ideology and simply the defense of he needed killing.
All of these are a cop out. Humans kill because they either like killing or want to enforce their power or take away wealth and power. They use other issues as scapegoats but in the end the final arbiter is human desire to kill.
Do not believe it if they say God wants them to kill, or the CO commanded me to kill, humans kill because they actively choose to. Fear, anger, hate, it doesn't matter, they make the choice to kill.
The ONLY person that can be held guilty is the one that just took a life, no one else can be blamed.

Jesus did not come to start a religion. He came to start a Church. God doesn't want religion, He wants Relationship!!! Religion will not save any one!! Relationship with the Creator of the Universe will. Experience Acts 2:38 for yourself.

Aren't those religions ridiculous. I read about them killing animals and making sacrifices. Why can't we just drop all the religions and just get a long and treat each other with the respect we all deserve

am i able to purely start up my own faith? Does that still count extensive form? i think of i might like that. My considerable doctrine could be the golden rule, and each little thing else could be completely versatile. we'd have lots of non secular holiday trips, celebrated with beer, soccer, and Mexican nutrition. all people could desire to connect, and you will by no potential could pay me any funds. merely BYOB. Is that cool? If no longer, i assume i might in all probability %. pantheism or Taoism or something.

Christianity beleive is Peace, Love, Forgiveness, there is no way Christians will kill each other in the name of our God
Islam beleive in Full of violent, full of hate, full of discrimination, there is many way they can kill each other in the name of Allah
Others religion, most of them are not violent and not full of hate, so we dont see any this case.

People have always misused creeds or belief systems to justify their actions. This is not necessarily from the belief system, it is the result of sinful human people

because they are Physco and they don't like each others religion.
I think its messed up, because doing that and acting like this because their religion isn't like the others isn't really religious at all.
