I went in the religion area, and these people all had questions against my religion. A lot of people hate my religion. People are just so arrogant and stubborn that they have to fight for it. I don't like people like that but they are everywhere. I totally agree with you for peace. i wish we could but too many people are stubborn nowadays.

The Teachings are Good. The Prophets and Sages are Good. The Divine is Good....
People..well.. not always so good. Peace starts with the self, but most of us would always look outwards. We cannot have perfect peace thus far because as people we are as yet unable to transcend the need for self-gain, thirst for power and control and of course, avenging our damaged pride or egos.
Peace can ONLY HAPPEN, when each spiritual/religious individual puts into practice, and APPLY all that they have learnt from the religion, their holy texts and their religious teachers/guides.
Eg: When someone makes us Angry, do we judge, rebuke and retaliate with pride, indignation and false purity? Or are we able to calm ourselves... remember the holy teachings and apply it AT THAT moment? So SOOO many love to quote Holy Texts from a well-trained brain like a Super Computer's Memory... but when their ego is singed.... THAT, is when we see their TRUE inner nature... and it is NOT very Holy nor Divine... their words of Love turn to Hate, their claims of peace stained heavilly with vengence in their words and speech... The gentle embracing nature turns into a aggressive hungry tiger.... This is usually true for the ones that are the MOST Holier-than-thous... coz for them its ALWAYS the other person that Evil and Sinful... they themselves can't be coz they have found " divinity's name here".... So if both parties think this way... fights break out... not for justice... but for vengence of a damaged pride.
Therein lies the secret of how we COULD have peace, but as yet don't have it.....

Everyone thinks their religion is the right one. Its not that easy to have peace because alot and i stress the word lot are stubborn. Once peace begins to start the devil will always try to stop it and end up getting through someones head. To be honest i agree to disagree

Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.

Wars generally do not resolve the problems for which they are fought and therefore... prove ultimately futile.

Seriously. There are many people who strongly believe that thier religon is the ONLY "right" religion. People like this have caused conflict centuries ago, and still to this day. I don't undestand why we can't put our belifs aside and just be in peace.

One religion might disagree with another and if this is taken all the way to a political scale then you start having wars do to religious disagreements

if you agree to disagree then why bring up the subject at at? at least do not call other's beliefs crap to start and you wont have a conflict.

Believe me if u had in mind to live in peace u could easily manage it.
I used to be like that before, I might like some one but i avoid him coz of his believes or religion.
I'm over it right now, my standards now is the moral and behavior only.
Try it.

Well I can't really disagree if a suicide bomber blows me to smithereens to get his orgy with 72 virgins in heaven can I?
Hey maybe your right, we just all just keep quiet while human rights are being violated.

Religion causes conflict. When religion is gone, peace will follow.

of course we can but the dudes who run countries have too much of their personal riches at stake. you know! all with the weapon trade, petroleum, bribes from war benefitting corporations...etc. poor things just have to use their people to keep wars going so they can make at least a couple of billin dollars. otherwise they'll be only just millionaires and that's unfair. they keep running these wars and sending us to our deaths, all this stress and you dont want them to make a little margin profit.
