Re: Religion leads to violence [split: Saudi Produces Video Response to Anti-Islam F
Exactly reaffirms what I have come to believe. Religion , no matter which one supports acts of violence as witnessed in Fitna and Schism. **Wow. vindication!!!!!!! **Perhaps the religious books are imperfect afterall based by video examples whereby a person can easily and readily use the Quran and Bible excerpts to support deeds of murder, annihilation and other equalling damning deeds by godly people. Wonder no more why people have and still kill in the name of god, believing it is blessed by God and sanctioned within the religious texts. All religions today have this guilt and sin .
It proves my argument, religions needs a major , major revision of their respective books if they don't want films so easily made with absolute factual information easily accumalated onto tape. Cut and paste a quote then show violence with each phrase. what more proof do you need that there is an innate system of violence and its promotion within the religious faiths of the judeo-crhistian-islamic dogma which people and their leaders can easily use to support their deeds. And now we know why the holy lands are really war lands.
Edit, edit , and more editiing required by reformists and liberals in theocracy with a mandate not for organized dogma but for goverance on humanistic principles and human rights. Already there is a new world order in the developments of progressive spiritual faiths based on teachings for personal well being, social well being and as well as environmental guardianship and the respect for pro choice in sexual orientation. Its termed the New age Movement .
I predict as more people question and they will as I do in my courses that new age philosphies and spirituality will attract more curious people to search and read: perhaps a religiousless society based on principles of philosophy not dogma, choice not suppression , worship not submission and questioning without stifling will emerge on this planet.
The bolded par is all bull$hit. The reality is that violence is here to stay, even if organized religion vanishes from face of earth tomorrow.
WWII, Holocaust, Iraq war, Opium war did not have any religious dogma behind them.
