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.

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.

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

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.

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! 😉

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!
