Not true, l think every major religion has been caught up in serious fighting. I edited out examples in this post as l don’t want to diss anyone’s faith. This world sometimes messes people up 🙁 All sorts of people get caught up in terrible wars.
However, to balance remarks that have been flying around: WW1 & WW2, Stalin’s purges, Mao’s revolution, Vietnam, Korea, the Latin American wars… they were merciless conflicts and nothing to do with religion. I wonder how many people died as a result of these conflicts, compared to how many died from religious conflicts? I have no idea.
* Religions are well-known to feed and clothe the poor.
* Most/all non-religious governments feed and clothe the poor too, with their welfare systems, or at least they strive to.
Whether or not you are religious, this is a good maxim about war: the next worse thing to losing a war is winning one.
One solution to global disharmony:
If you see yourself as a good person, then be kind. If you see yourself as a bad person, then just stick to being polite until some ruffneck does the dirty on you. Badmen can be polite, it doesn’t make ’em soft, c.f. Johnny Allen my hero!!!
R.I.P. Johnny, l wish you’d stuck Phil Mitchell’s potato head in a vice.
Ruby Allen, l really admire you too.
