Darthter 542 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I guess I'm lucky as I don't believe in God,I do find religion kinda wierd,but each to their own,but I also think it causes problems in society. It's been the root cause of the majority of conflicts EVER!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 people are the root cause. religion is a convinient excuse. religion is a force for good. people corrupt it. any religion I know anything about preaches nothing but love peace and honesty. anyone who thinks their would be less war without religion is kidding themselves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't have religion without people so don't get that one. All religions preach peace and love just as long as its their kind of peace and love and not the heretics in the church/chapel/mosque next door. Anyone who thinks religion hasn't been the No:1 cause for unrest in the world in the last 2000 years is kidding themselves, religion by its very nature divides people and sets them against people not of their religion, add the human nature into the mix and you get conflict. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you the urge for power is the biggest cause of conflict. Religion has just been used as a vessel. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the power they urge for has nothing to do with making their religion the one and only religion in the world? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe Saddam Hussein and Gaddaffi gave a fuck about religion. They just used it to gain power. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bush Jnr used religion to become the US President and reign terror on the middle east while his family profitted out of the wars, but it's still an huge over-simplification of the world's problems to say it's all about the desire to gain or achieve power unless you're talking about the people who really pull the strings like those who control those in control. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
