Are You Normal?
Ask your question today!
Why do people break-up and get back together if there was no point for their love?
Why do people work? I assume to earn money. Does that mean that people are not met with conflict at work? No, because no matter what you do in life, people will contradict you for various reasons, regardless of how you treat them.
And do you want to know the real reason for wars? Why are people so brainwashed? Did you ever think that those who are at the top have anything to do with that? Do you honestly believe everything that you hear on television?
Just because there are certain groups who consider religion to be a basis for wars does not mean that the rest of the world does. Your opinion is based on false generalisations.
Religion is not a cause of war but leaders who know nothing about religion and who assume that they can use it as an excuse to gain support of people stupid enough to rely on them. If anything is a cause of war, it is contradicting views of people who have different political perspectives and hence see a reason to put their citizens under pressure in order to fight fellow human beings.
Why don't they go and fight in wars? Why don't they put a gun into their own hands to protect their citizens? Why? Because while they sit on their behinds and wait for some political dream of theirs to come true; their dear citizens are dying, and the people of this world are still being manipulated into fighting one another so that their dear presidents could laugh about war tomorrow.
What is the point of all of this? Where does religion come into this? Does being religious make us bad and criminals? I don't think so, nor should those who aren't religious be considered that way. But those who persist to create wars for all the mentioned reasons (excuses) should be considered bad and war criminals; because, hey, they have the power to make peace or make war (with or without religion.
I am not very religious myself, but you have to see the many positive influences of religion (along with the negative) There will always be war with or without religion, and there will always be corrupt people. You can't blame religion for the evil of man.
Just make sure to tread carefully, for religion also tells that there are dark forces within this realm and others.
Go with the light of truth and blessing. May God light your path.
sometimes people rely on religions to make themselves feel better about what they've done or what has happened...
sometimes people join religious groups to take advantage on the others with a selfish purpose...
im kinda with you but im NOT denying the existence of a god. im just not convinced about following a religion.
A new age myth.
Wars have ALWAYS been over money, resources, freedom and land.
The only exception EVER maybe the Catholic crusades, which were also just to kill the opposing "team".
think about it, a child grown up in a relligius famaly finds it much more easy to belive in santa.
one ove my friends was grown up atheist, and she never belived in santa even when here parents keept telling her he ws real.
I was raised christian and belived in santa, then i had a hard time trying to let him go
