I ask this question because recently a lib asked me,

"Since religion is the most dominating cause of wars throughout history, shouldn't I want to destroy it?"

So my question is, when the liberals wake up and realize that people wage wars, not religion, just like people kill people, not guns kill people, will they just try to destoy all people?

coragryph, that it rhetoric. There has not been one war waged by any civilized country in the past 100 years that was caused by or the result of any religious beliefs. They were always political, ideological, geographical, or just plain revenge. You could live in a world completely sterile of religion and all the same wars would have happened.

vt500, I am sooooo glad you are not a policy maker. Guns kill people because it makes it easier? Are you assuming that an M-16 walks itself into the basketball game and starts shooting itself? Or are you giving the task to "go kill as many people as possible" to a guy that normally wouldn't otherwise? What kind of person would do that? A murderer perhaps? Think sometime. I realize you assume that people are just juvenile animals that would "start randomly shooting" in a crowded area, if only given a gun and some ammo. Thats sad, really.

You make no sense. Most wars have a religious motive. Stop being a belligerent fundie.

That is a the plan of the globalists controlled by the Illuminati secret societies of which both the George Bushes and the Clintons are a part. Read up on "the Bilderberg Group", "The Trilateral Commission", "The Council on Foreign Relations". "The Committee of 300" and a number of other groups run by David Rockefeller, Queen Beatrix, The Rothschild Banking Group...etc.. Check out "the Georgia Guidestones", the Denver Airport, the Illuminati layout of Washington D.C..

Politics is an illusion to keep the masses occupied while the elite execute their plan for global domination...and Step 1 in the plan according to the guidestones is "maintain human population below 500 million to maintain balance with nature". That means they plan on wiping out 95% of us.

Continuing from the previous answerer:

Not only do religions make people want to kill other people, many religions actively teach that it is morally ACCEPTABLE to kill other people, or even VIRTUOUS to kill other people.

And anyone who says that guns don't kill people is just beyond moronic. Go to a basketball game sometime and start randomly killing the other fans. Only rule: no guns. Just how many people do you think you will successfully kill? I bet you don't even kill one. Now try it again with an M-16. I bet you will be remarkably more successful on your second attempt.

This simple-minded example, of course, is in respose to your simple-minded comment...

Yes people wage wars. Not religions.
And guns don't kill people. Bullets kill people.

Religious leaders have prompted attacks by their followers for thousands of years, and it still happens every day. And religious dogma has been used as justification for those attacks for thousands of years, and it still happens every day.

So, it's meaningless to say the religion isn't causing wars. Religion is the belief of the people who follow it. And it is the beliefs of those people that causes those people to wage war.

Ok - then why do people of certain religious persuasions launch more wars than others? It is historically true that wars are more often fought over religious differences. Look it up. The churches of the world cause more division and hate than any one single other entity. Deal with it.

Wars are fought by people. However, leaders have long used religion to convince people to go to war for "a just cause."

Is this a version of 'people kill not guns'? The difference is that religion through its ministers and clerics encourage killings in the names their gods.

he's not so do not placed capacity into this. He worked for 3 Catholic parish churchs as a community organizer for 3 years & the money that they had at the same time as he began tripled at the same time as he left & the individuals he helped kept tax payers extremely some money. it is likewise why he had the relationship with Rev. Wright reason that church became in the section that became hit with huge unemployment at the same time as a metal plaint closed down. He became in his 20's & would have merely went to college & made more advantageous money notwithstanding it became his service to the country & any Catholic who places him down should feel embarrassment about themselved. properly, Newt is disgusting & he will do for the Catholic church what the scandels earlier did not do, he will have them completely crash & burn.

It's not the masses that are causing the wars. It's the corporations that are greedy for the natural resourses in other countries, that are causing the wars. They are the LAST people that would reflect humanity as a whole, since they only value people for the productivity they represent.

It is an effort, on the part of some anti-religion folks, to justify banning any semblence of religion from our culture. This is quite a jump as, to do so, you have to generalize the obvious evils and excesses of islamofacism to all organized religion.
