Erhhhggggg......Why does Everyone think religion in the course of all wars and suffering?

People will ALWAYS come up with an excuse to gain power and wealth, be from religion, mere post code or some thing stupid like the colour of your skin.

So yes, relgion is the course of wars are suffering, but to think getting rid of religion will create world peace is just plain Stupid and ill thought through.

After all, the root of Hitlers racism comes from a line of thinking that some humons are more Evolved than others and therefore better, so really, darwin and his 'Sciense' was the course of WWII...But obviously to blame science is stupid, just like blaming religion is.

If the Theory of Evolution was the cause of death for 98% of everybody on this planet... it would still be true... what does a scientific fact about the origins of our species have to ******* do with world war 2...

Duhh, guys guys... you know magnetism? It was the cause of ww1... cause people knew about magnets, and then there was metal.. so yeah.. science killed people.

I think you are missing the point. As far as I can tell, nithorry is saying that "people will always" find reasons to go war. He uses Hitler as more of a counter-example (not exactly what I'm trying to say; not sure, too tired). I can elaborate if you want, but it's dinner time, so you'll have to be patient.

Well becuase of the relitively new discovery of the Evolution theroy people came up with the idea that White people for eg. where More evolved than blacks, there for where better than them or more human than them. I think the theroy was called ''eugenics'' (but i may be wrong on that) either way, this theory is was Hitler was very interested on, and which led him towards his ideas about Aryan races.

So that is how the science of Evolution contributed towards WW2....BUUT, like i said, and like you clearly quoted me ''to blame science is stupid''. Becuase at the end of the day people are going to use any excuse to go to war, be it over racial supremacy or be it religion.

Does that make more sence?

So in conclusion... people go to war over racial supremacy and religion...

If that's what you're saying, I agree... get rid of Jesus and racism and we are two steps further to a better future.

NOO!!

Im saying people with go to war over ANYTHING.

For another example gang wars, people killing each other simply because they live in a different post code.
Or drug wars, people killing over who gets to seell what drugs where.

As long as theres power or wealth to gain, then people will go to war.

Hmm..... decent excuse then. I do agree with you a bit on your point though. The crusades started with a man that wanted to kill everyone that wouldn't accept god, and the holocaust started with a man that wanted to kill everyone that didn't meet his standards either. Religion doesn't really matter because if you are a good person. You will be a good person regardless of religion or not.

Religion has, and still does, give large groups of people a set of laws/guidelines to live by. Stripping away these laws/guidelines will make it much clearer which people cause suffering with intent, and will prevent people with lesser intellect from becoming mentally warped. Of course religion isn't the only factor causing this, but it sure is one hell of a catalyst for it.

Maybe people aren't good or bad, but the result of a lifetime of experiences. Can you honestly deny that religion has much more potential than any other concept to warp those experiences during introspection?

If "good" people lose religion, they may suffer under it, alot redoubtably will. But there are so much more things in life to enjoy or take comfort in. Most of which don't include the absurd thought of a conscious entity existing and guiding the world.

Imagine your life is the sum of all your actions and reactions, and it will become so.

I don't think getting rid of religion would help us with gaining world peace either. Especially if you mean just illegalizing having religious belief, because imagine how mad some people get when Muhammed is pictured, think of if you told they couldn't have religious beliefs at all.
But I think if we removed the current factors of war, like oil and **** like that, it would help. You see, we humans want to be better than our neighbor, but that doesn't mean we want to kill him
I don't think religion is the cause of all war and suffering. Religion is something that is there for you when you have a crappy day. There is nothing wrong with it.
Sure, religion was a huge factor of war in the past, but to me it displays as no real danger in today's society. That is unless you start taking it too seriously.
TLDR; Religion isn't bad, it is something that helps people get through the day

Religion comforts people, makes them feel better about existing and less afraid of the unknown, it's a great thing when used properly. I've always said, to each their own, as long as you are happy and don't reduce the happiness of others.

the problem arises when people try to force others to conform to their beliefs, something that happens way too often (lets think evangelicals nazi communists extremist muslims) and they try to spread their beliefs regardless of others beliefs

The problem with organized religion is very, very simple.
It is a lot of people. In one group. Lead by very few people at the top.

Obviously, the top are going to be retardedly evil and mislead everyone else 1/4 to 1/2 the time. The thing about religion, is it's often required to have absolute faith in the God or gods of it... and the messengers of said God or gods. Those at the top of religions (Leaders of Islam, Christianity) can easily use this to their advantage.

It's the same with any organized anything. Top takes advantage of anyone below. Religion is just a main example because of how retardedly big they can get. Have you ever seen the numbers on Christianity in the world? On Islamics? Countries can be seen the same way, due to how big they are as well. There aren't many other huge examples of that type involving war.

the holocaust was more a combination of racism and smart politics
by giving the people an enemy (particularly one the people distrusted) they had something to unite against
its a tactic used many time well into modern times, with people like michelle bachman screaming about muslims all the time
now things, like all the crusades, can clearly be blamed on the politics of religion
also go translate the writing on that there ring

Reminds of that episode of South Park where Cartman goes in the future and sees that religion is gone.

But there is still a war going on between two scientific groups.
War is inevitable, religion is just an easy thing to blame it on.
