The question is, would religion capable of raising war? Some people might use religion on the purpose of manipulate a large group of people, to control them do whatever they want. Vivid example was the terrorists group. Mostly, they did it on the name of their God. Is it right to destroy things, and harm other people like that. Million of innocent people. What kind of God they believe in would teach them do such thing like that.

From the preview of new release movie called "Angel & Demon", they use the same theme for this movie. Religious war. From history until now, it repeated itself over again.

I thought that most religion teaches people to harmonize, and be peaceful. Forgiving is the key word to most religion too. How harming other innocent people justify their acts?

You are right!!
It should all be about peace and forgiveness....and all doctrines teach this...the problem is its teachers!People have become very corrupt and angry and filled with hate and are doing things that harm others.
Now if one was to really believe in there faith or there chosen religion they would refuse to fight and kill no matter what the circumstance.
I have faith and believe in God but would never in a million years take up arms against another human being...I would be killed first!
If everybody had this view there would be peace...but religious leaders have become corrupt teaching wrong and twisted things..they walk hand in hand with political leaders and governments promoting wars..and this is very wrong..it is these people that are encouraging people to fight and these same people are blood guilty for so many innocent lives being lost.
There is hope..while many believe for their own benefits there are also those believing through good will and love xxx
Peace be with you xxxx

I Know Only thing is "Muslims are Great & the Greatest & others Worse & worst" (Al-Aqsa Jerusalem Christians Women Says to Salahuddin Ayubi). Islam is the Truth So Why Peoples Won't Accept it. Okay Won't Accept. But why you teasing Muslims You Dunt Saw the Isreali Terrorism in Palestine??? who are Israelis??? They are not Terrorist??? 1000 of Womens & child were killed where is Your Human Organizations at this time??? Where is Peoples who say Muslims Killed Women & Child??? I Read All History I Never Ever Saw Any Discussion any Muslims Warriors Rapes any any Christian Female??? are they??? Read your History if your eyes are not closed you know about the False Propagandas. Any Nation at this time Rapes girls if they were Won the Battle. Our Prophet (P.B.U.H) Pilgrim Occupied Jerusalem. He Never Kill Any Any Other Believers are they??? So Islam Is a Peace & Humanity is One & all. Better Clear Your Mind in False Propagandas the False Propagandas will Finish Your Finance already if peoples still on them Soon God Wiped off all.
We Hate Terrorism But We Don't Hate Our Defense. If Someone Teasing Islam & Muslims they will got just burned Rocks.

have a nice day.

You obviously know nothing of what is going on in Swat, Pakistan. Muslim men,women and children are being slaughtered, hanged and stoned by Muslims. One sect claims they are right and they have the sword of Allah to kill others who do not believe in their brand of Islam. Girls can only study till 4th class, then they are stay home and breed. Barbers are forbidden, on pain of death, to shave a man's beard. A man without a beard is to be killed. What are you talking about?

Many small girls were abducted after the big earthquake we had.Do you know where they went? To the terrorists hiding in the mountains which are in the north part of Pakistan. Do you know that polio vaccine is forbidden by the Islamists, because according to them they are 'birth control' medicine to stop propagation of muslims.This is supposed to be an American scheme.

I do not know about the past, I know of NOW.Women are being raped, burnt, hanged, and all the Muslim world is too afraid to condemn it outright, infact they are being funded to spread Islam. Why, I ask you, would someone 'tease ' Islam, you are doing it to yourself.

Religion is the excuse many corrupt would be politicans use to declair war on others. The very concept of religious war is a hypocracy, when the very religions declaring war on eachother promote peace and love.

These people are not truly following the path and commands set out for them by their own faith and as such cannot truly call themselves member of this faith. It is these corrupt individuals are dragging down the good name of religions.

People should not be allowed to say that their actions of war stem from religious beliefs because all the evidence points to otherwise. Rather than blame religion for war, and thinking that without it there will be peace, instead blame the morons who are just thinking about their own personal gain.

To have a way to control others is why religions were created and sustained. That and a way to explain what they could not understand. This is why there are so many inconsistancies within religions and what we know as scientific facts. From polytheisim, to modern day religions, one who is hollier than another rises in power to dictate to the rest. High priests of days past, medicine men, whitch doctors alike were the ones who controlled society. The basis behind religion to obtain peace and harmony is only part of the tools they use to gain control. You do what I say in the manner I say, and you shall have peace and tranquility. Which may be true, if you abide to the word. However I think you will find that few can or do. Then when another group transgresses against your religion, suddenly it is a matter of defending God!! Please lets not be fooled into thinking that an entity that is all knowing and all loving would actually want us to kill and destroy. Where is the love there? You will find that many wars throughout time were based on religion and the fact that millions have died because of is rather sad. Still today, it is ever present with no end in sight, until those who control the others are no longer afraid of loosing thier power, and learn to respect ohers and tollerate peoples beliefs.

Some say religion can be a poison to your mind. Won't you agree with that?


myLot reputation of 49/100. OneEyedGiant (130)  9 months ago

I agree. The fact is religion devided people, by i'm a moslem, i'm a christian, buddhism, and they fight for it, ashamed. But people do not want to realize it. any of you have find the truth by your religion? or just give you satisfies, petition, comfort which projected from yourself? it gives no understanding at all.

All you have to do is look to the jihad to know that is true. Fighting over religion is the worst kind of wars in my opinion.

I think its the fanaticism that ignites it but if you would basing from the basics of each religion you wouldn't find anything that teaches violence at all. Take for example Islam, they are never for violence at all but then because of religious fanaticism they've turn it all around and the meaning of it became very different at all. Same as with other religions around.

happy Actually, wars have happened during the Medieval times mostly on Religion, remember the Holy Crusade which almost took several years before it finally became over. sad till now there are still wars that involves religion and most people will kill for it. I think in very aspect of religion, forgiveness in the main essence for people to get along despite of difference in beliefs. happy

It is something that is keeping me thinking about this recently very much. Not that I never thought of it.But the recent Terrorist attack on our country has compelled me to think so. There are few war mongers and very bad people who brainwash the uneducated and poor young guys to take radical form of religion to kill people in name of their GOD.
