    crusades, cathar massacres, inquisition, jihad, could all be put down to individuals who distort there religion for other motives. I don’t know of any religion that promotes violence or am i wrong.

    I agree for example nowhere in the Qu’ran does is say that non muslim’s are infidels and that they should be killed

    It’s the extremists that misinterpret things and lead others to believe them

    the cathar massacres were led by the vatican and the king of france… the mainstream of catholicism, not extreme fringe

    the bible says ‘a tooth for a tooth’

    it says a lot of other stuff as well, it depends on which bits you read and how you interpret it.

    Jesus was a black man !!

    no that was Bruce Wayne !!!!!!!!!

    Yes. That’s my answer.
    Does this make anyone angry.

      All religion has been misinterpreted at some point along the way, they want you to believe what they believe, so they try to force it on you, just look at the conflicts in Northern Ireland, protestants and catholic..its been going on for years.

      I think you should be able to believe or not believe in religion without all this misinterpretation leading to conflict, by others who want to force their interpretation of whatever religion is onto everyone else.

      each to their own I think. but it is the people who practise these religions that are violent not the religion itself.

      Its non of the above,its killing,hurting,destroying,no compassion,no acceptance..

      I dont say that ALL religious people are bad people,becauce they are NOT

      Indeed, religion is truly a good thing. All you’ve mentioned are the things which religion is proclaiming that must be practiced. Violence, killings, wars, etc. are just manifestations of a misguided belief of the believers.

      Do you think religion provokes violence ?

      The teachers and prophets come to tell us all to live in peace and harmony.

      And then the followers spend the next few thousand years killing the living shit out of each other over exactly what KIND of “peace and harmony” the dude was talking about.

      Philip K Dick once wrote a book, can’t recall if it was The World That Jones Made or The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, but in one of those, the earth had been devastated by a brutal religiously fuelled war.

      So the new thinking after that to keep society going was that everyone could believe whatever the hell they wanted to about god and the after life, but if you couldn’t attempt to convince anyone else of your point of view or else you’d get fried.

      Not an entirely bad system! Probably not an achievable one though! 😉

      without a doubt, i grew up in west belfast and seen it and experianced it all my life,

      the only religion i know not associated with violence is Buddhism – maybe because it advocates positive thinking rather than social control structures.

      Auch wenn du am Abgrund stehst, und gar nichts mehr verstehst,
      wachen Engel über dich, halten dich im Licht und lassen dich nie fallen.

      religion causes wars. violence. because people become fanatics in what they believe…

      We’ve seen Catholics clash with Prosidants in Belfast, whites clash and asians in Bradford, and Millwall football fans clash with Birmingham football fans down South London.

      Religion is just another way of drawing sides.

      Exactly. I don’t understand it. Maybe they know something I don’t, or maybe I know something that they don’t.
      Either way, I cannot understand why people would fight over what shape church you go to, what colour scarf you wear or what colour your skin is.
      I like to think though that I don’t get it because I understand and they don’t. We’re all human so go forth and multiply!

      Yes, religion does cause violence.. It cant be helped.. People doing acts and saying ” god ” told me to or its what ” god ” wanted.Religion has begun violent acts between religions and countries.
      Religions tell us what we should believe in and that other religions beliefes are wrong, that causes arguments which cause conflict. But thats just my view.
