"We have little reason to think that violence inspired by Bibles and other religious texts will ever cease. One only has to look at the religious wars around the world to see belief's everlasting destructive potential. One only has to look at the Protestant-Catholic uprising in Ireland, the conflicts in the middle east with Jews fighting Moslems & Christians, the Gulf war, Sudan's civil war between Christians and Islamics, the Bosnia conflicts, and the war in Iraq. The desperate acts of fanatical individuals who have killed for their beliefs of Jesus, Mohammed, God or Satan would create a death list unmatched by any other method in history. The "Holy" Bible supports the notion of war and destruction, not only as a prophesy but as a moral necessity. If we wish to become a peaceful species, it may well serve us to understand the forces of belief that keep us in continual conflict and why the Bible has such a stronghold on the minds of people around the world."

Oh please, Jews have always only ever wanted peace!!
It's the rest of you meshuganahs who keep trying to wipe us out...!
lol lol - just teasing...
Seriously: I am Jewish and I want peace a lot, believe me. I think that all decent people want peace.
The challenge is to silence the extremists, and all religions have them.

As a Christian, I have peace, the peace that Jesus gave to me. These wars are men and not the Lord.
You may be disgusted with religions, but God said, They will holler peace, peace but there will be no peace until the Lord returns.
Man doesn't know how to make peace. Only God can make peace. Regardless what man has dreamed up, there is ONLY One True God.

The flaw is in the human. We should all seek peace within and reform ourselves and there will automatically be a peaceful world. But, because most do not, the best that you can do is reform yourself. You can only save yourself and by doing so you set an example for others who may do the same. I do not think that religion is the problem, it is US. Religion can become corrupt because we have become corrupt.

If Christians start searching for peace in their own countries rather in the Middle East and elsewhere by building military bases, things will definitely get better.

provided that we will gain knowledge of tolerance. india thrived for hundreds of years beneath a procedure of tolerance wherein the numerous disparate ideals of what we now name hinduism coexisted and construct a best civilization. now we have now a gigantic section of 1 faith, and such a lot of an additional who arrogantly denounce the perspectives of all different men and women on the planet. so long as islam and fundamentalist christianity stay illiberal, there is no wish. struggle isn't mankind's average state. we're primates like the entire others who look to get alongside with out acts of genocide. that is a separate obstacle from faith, tho.

When their mythology orders the killing of non believers and members of the other abrihamic religions it is easy to understand that there will never be peace as long as religions persist in attacking each other.
Eventually they will inevitably destroy the entire earth.
There is no rationality within a delusional brainwashed mind.

I couldn't be bothered reading your essay you typed but I am searching for peace. I have gone to many anti-war demonstrations. Nice try on trying to blame religion for all the war happening.

Who said that we was not wanting peace.
