In my home town there is a community violence, I don't understand what is their actual purpose of fighting. Because of this one teenage girl is also dead. And all students from the college are wasting their time for this kind of cause.

THEY DO NOT KNOW THEIR OWN RELIGION. IF THEY KNOW THEIR RELIGION. NO RELIGION TEACHES VIOLENCE.

You have posed a very important question. More people have died in the name of one religion that all the wars for any other reason. It is a sad fact and I certainly do not have the answer to this question.
I would like to say that the answer to the problem is for people to finally accept that all religions have the same right to exist and that all religions are legitimate paths to divinity. There is no right or wrong way. We must stop killing other people because they do not worship God in the same way that we do. That is the only solution to this question.
Human nature seems to be at odds with what must happen to stop the violence.
My personal feeling is that we must turn back to the spirituality of our ancestors before man invented Christianity. The only religion that will prevent the wars and the violence that you speak of is a religion that is based on the power of love. Christianity was invented to "put women in their place" and to destroy the original female deities. While I hold nothing against Christians individually as a whole their religion has been responsible for more death than any one religion. It is based on the negative emotions of guilt and fear. These emotions do not bring forth that which is positive and healthy. The spiritual path of our Mothers is one of love and nurturing. We must accept the fact that love is the most powerful emotion on the face of the earth and that if given a chance it will make a difference in the world. Christianity, like most patriarchal religions was invented for all the wrong reasons.
We need to step back and look at what this religion and ones like it, are doing to the world.
One step at a time, one day at a time. It is all that can be done.
I wish you peace and love. You have posed a very interesting question. I hope that you will find your own answers. If you are interesting in writing to me I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you more.
Remember, "And it harm none, do as ye will"
Goddess Bless

Some politicians and leaders have stirred the people to fight against each other on the basis of religion. They do it to gain vote bank, while the poor teenage girl has paid with her life, the college students pay with the time wasted and many other citizens also pay for damages, all to satisfy the selfishness of the politicians and the leaders, the blood suckers of society.

Most people do not fight in the name of religion. Most people do not fight at all. There are a few that do and the few are fighting not for religious beliefs, but just for the violence, hate and disruption they can inspire. Be an inspiration for peace and understanding if possible. Avoid conflict, as it resolves nothing and only begets more hate.

In the name of religion? If they say, they are fighting in the name of religion, this is a LIE. It is greed and selfishness. Religion doesn't promote violence at all. I hope they soon realise it is an insult to any religion.

It's high time to learn the difference between religion and spirituality - in many of the developed societies, religion has long outlived its utility, but people are shy to admit it, because they do not want to hurt those people, whose "very bread and butter" comes from the practice of traditional religious customs, since ages.

Because such people do not understand the ' Religion of Nature' We forget the very crux of a true religion is live in co-existence. Religion is for man and not man for religion.

I know what you feel. I'll tell you why! As long as the world still go round before the End of Days, things like this will never stop. Some does it because they had to defend their belief, some to defend themselves, and the rest do it for fun. So, where's the love?

People Fight in the name of relegion BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY relegions. Let the constitution be framed that there will be only one relegion and there will be no clashes.
Philosophically - Each one fights to kill and end of era.
Logically - Its all a politicians game to win and make money.
Ultimately - End of Life on earth.
