Isn't that like saying that throwing lit matches into a haystack isn't the only way to start a fire?
It's still a good idea to stop throwing those matches.

yes, but matches will only be thrown into ur haystack if u let it.
Likewise, very little people actually throw matches into the hasystacks. those who want to start fires just use automatic lighters/flame throwers and use the excuse "we want to stop others from destroying the haystacks"

When people stop trying to blame religion for the greed and power lust of people they might actually start learning something about humans. When we learn to stop living by emotions and start using our minds it'll help too. It'll get rid of the mob mentality. Have their been attacks because people are following a religious sect or cult? Of course there have. It that the greatest reason for war? Gee let's ask Hitler, Mussolini, Alexander the Great, Xeres, etc.

I have never seen a 'religious fight'. People fight for OTHER reasons than this, and in spite of religion.
