Each religion got different definitions of all mighty god. But in all religion one thing is same. Each one talks about peace, salvation, love to each other. But look at current world. What do you see? Is religion is sill key to salvation and inner peace or it has become spark of fire. People are using it for war and dividing communities. Tell me you opinion on this matter.

There will always be disagreements in religion. It's the process of it evolving to suit our times and needs.
Fanatics aren't all out to twist and misuse. Peacemakers also lose there way. That being said, the fanatics can sometimes be closer to what their religious doctrines dictate. If you were to pick up the Bible or Torah you'd find some pretty violent things that God approved of and in some cases told people to do. It's hard to have peaceful teachings when the authors contradict each other and the main character has active roles with violence.

It doesn't matter what faith you confess. All religions teach you the same: be a good person, live a meaningful life and treat other people well. This is the most important for all of us. All that other acting, so called in the "name of God", is false. God never meant it to be like this.

VERY VERY GOOD POINT!!!!! People have not learned what God is all about yet. They choose everything but what God is all about. Those that understand God is about unconditional love and kindness must point even when so many refuse to see, for one day, it will become clear to them. Even the most hateful person will grow tired of hating one day.

I forgot to add. I apologize for those who respond to your discussion just to be argumentive. That to me is personally bothersome. Everyone has their personal opinions and viewpoints and that's great to express them. But when a person goes around looking for discussions to argue with or put down another's beliefs or ideas I think that's annoying. So on that note my apologizes. Have a good day.

I think that religion that encourages war are doing the opposite of what they are preaching. Many religions teach peace. But certain clergy go and pray for their troops. On the other side of the world religion is praying for their troops as well. Is God going to favor one side over the other. God doesn't favor one side over another. There are people who don't take up arms or go to war and those individuals are doing the right thing in God's eyes.

Most religions only talk about love and peace but they get involved in the wars, hate, corruption and immorality of this world. That is the sad fact!

Not all people are using religion for 'war and dividing communities'. There are still those who seek peace and love of neighbor. Those who use religion as an excuse to harm others are misusing religion. It's not religions 'fault' it is the fault of those who misinterpret and make excuseds for their bad behavior.
