Religion has been the reason for most wars and the hate in the world all though time.

What little good that comes out from it, is nothing compared to the hate and death from the evil side.

Case closed.

Guns kill people, knives kill people, I therefore declare all guns and knives to be evil in nature.

Doesn't work the same does it? I'm not defending some of the things done in the name of religion, and I'm not saying it's perfect but there's a difference between religion and faith.

Anything can be abused, religion is no different, and it's true that humans are flawed creations, so no religion is perfect but I don't agree that you purely blame religion for wars, just like you can't blame knives for deaths.

My anaolgy isn't 100% concrete, I know that, just trying to get you to look at things from a different angle


I do see your point, but as you said, the anaology is not really concrete.

It seems in this world, we always try to blame our problems on everything else other then the problem itself, which doesnt get us anywhere.

There is many good things that come out of religion, yes, have to agree there, but trying to kid yourself that religion doesnt cause more harm then it does good, is just silly, the idea behide religion for the good, is nice and all and I welcome it.

But, in the end, its the root of most of the worlds problems, you only need to look at iraq, middle easy for the last, what?, 2000 years.

/me wonders if that area of the world has ever known peace?

As the gun only has one mission ni its life and thats to kill, wouldnt you call that evil incarnate?

Today, the gun has many users, for hunting, sport, fun, but the main reason we inverted the gun was to kill people, so I would call a gun, evil.

A knife, well thats yes and no, we use knifes in our every day life for eating, cutting up meat and other peaceful jobs.
