Edited question: Why did christians and muslims kill in the name God/Allah when it is wrong to kill?

Question

Our religions have the same heredity. The same people that wrote the bible and koran (sorry for inaccurate spellings) are the same people that waged war on others in the name of religion. WHY? WHY? WHY? The point I'm getting at is why is so much faith being put in literal traslations of texts and not in simple concepts like STOP KILLING PEOPLE and BEING JERKS!!!!!

Answer 1

from where u heard such out of context non sense

Answer 2

well, If we just use our minds we will see it is not about religion. It is about policy and ecnomics. They fight for Oil, Money, Leadrship and dominating the whole world. This is the human nature . Even a christian will kill another chrisitian for money. We should eliminate those sick people who would do anything (killing thousands of people, destroying the environment, causing global warming, and leaving poor people starve in africa,) just for Oil and the world leadership.

Answer 3

Christians (supposed Christians) only kill in the name of God when they mix their religion with their politics. When Constantine declared Christianity the state religion, he put the pagan priests out of a job. Their temples were turned into places for worship for Christians, and the priests just decided to get on the boat to keep their jobs. Unfortunately, they injected a lot of pagan rituals into Christianity, and it became intertwined with the state, and lo and behold, you had pagans making laws in the name of Christianity, and forcing folks to convert at the point of a sword.
True born again believers did not kill in the name of Jesus. Jesus even says that not everyone who says "Lord lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. He will say to them, "depart from me, for I never knew you." These are some of the folks who wore the name Christian but were not Christians at all.

I cannot speak for Muslims, except that we know that in early Muslim writings, Mohammed instructed his followers to kill all the infidels who would not convert to Islam and say the creed. I am told that later in his writings he mellowed out. Those who follow the early teachings of Mohammed are the ones who kill in the name of Allah.
Our religions have only one thing in common- Abraham. Isaac was the son of promise, not Ismael, as the Muslims believe. The god they serve is not Jehovah, for Jehovah says that Jesus is His Son. Allah says Jesus is not His Son, and that He did not die on the cross (I actually read that in the Qran myself). God and Allah are not the same.

Answer 4

Killing in the name of their religion is not killing in the name of God. God has no religion. People kill because of greed

Answer 5

because whilst has it been against the Christian faith to kill? the place have you ever been, residing under a rock? Ya be responsive to, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, The sacking of Greece, and so on., and so on., advert nauseam.

Answer 6

because even god and allah cannot keep their morals straight. You know the moral of 'thou shall not kill' and then the turn around command of kill all the caanites and take their virgin women for yourselves.

Answer 7

Muslims still do kill people in Allah's name. Not Christians anymore. And who said that Christians are still killing in God's name?

Answer 8

Because people listen to other's view on religion instead of following their own path with it.

Answer 9

Who told you that it is wrong to kill?

What you are trying to say is that it is NEVER right to kill, and that's not true.

So say it.

Don't hide behind sneaky questions.

Answer 10

It's actually hormonal.
when population levels reach a certain limit, a territorial hormone kicks in, and people just tend to get very short tempered for no reason whatsoever.
