You know what?.... The killings done in 'god's name' is actually the works of the devil.
The devil is so smart that he's convinced religious people to kill for him. These religious people think they're doing it in their god's name.... they're not. That's the greatest lie!
So, all the religious people who advocate killing in god's name are all going to hell because in truth, they are worshipping the devil.

Humans make big mistakes, its that simple, I am a Christian, and I agree with you that killing in Gods name is as wrong as any killing. As Christians we are to spread the Love of Jesus to everyone and not condemn or hate or be prejudiced in anyway. I do fail sometimes as I am not perfect, only Jesus Christ was perfect and the crucified him on a cross. He died for our sins, his blood covers our sins so that if we are born again spiritually we can go to Heaven and be with Jesus, The devil already made his decision and its hell, I personally don't want to join him there and he will not start a revolution as you say, he will be in pain and agony as the Bible says he will be tormented forever. Now my question to you is do you believe in Jesus, the Bibles says that we are all sinners in the eyes of God and unless we repent we will likewise perish with the devil and his band of demons. Christ paid the ultimate price on calvery dieing a terrible death, a crucifixtion by the romans was the worst death you could get, but Jesus took all of our sins to the cross with him and paid the price to the death, Has anyone ever died for you, Jesus did, John 3:16, one of the best verses in our Bible. Now if you would like to accept Christs free offer of salvation today just say this Prayer and Jesus will save you if you believe, Dear Jesus, I just ask you right now to come into my heart and save me. I believe you are the son of God and that you came to earth to die on a cross as a perfect sacrifice for my sins, I believe you rose from the grave the third day to wash away my sins, I confess and admit right now that I am a sinner in need of a Saviour, I Pray this believing in myJesus'name,Amen. If you said this Prayer with a sincere heart believing you now have been born again into the Kingdom of God. Praise the Lord, now get a Bible and start reading, find a Church and start praising God with other believers. If you have any ?? just send me an email. Its a great day in the Lord, Amen

Killing in the name of any thing is wrong . Mind you if someone attacked myself or my family I would kill if there were no other way to prevent such an attack and if that need should arise and I hope it never does I would take the karmic debt and gladly I would not however hide behind my religeon or some myhical creature

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?
No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:
"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188
Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.
The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.
The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.
But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?
All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
