Well I corrected myself on the second paragraph, that you probably didn't read. Mostly the last sentence. Sad to see you mad about religion. I just wonder how come some poeple are able to use religion to justify their lust of power if everyone knows that these religion seek peace. I mean, all the religious people who accept that... these wars. Did they all forget to "do their homeworks" and just pretend being religious?
Well.. the problem is that they are not using only religion to justify such things. But they are taking advanteges or the ignorance of people about both, their own religion (which is a weadspread thing here) and other people's religion. which makes things easier for them to have some supporters following blindly.
I know some guys who claimed they are Muslims, but they didn't know almost anything about Qur'an, and they were really agressive with others, steal, and do a lot of unaccepted things by the society. and when they got into religion, they kept doing the same things, but they find Islam as an excuse to hit people saying :" it says fight in the name of God" wtf does this mean? Go kick somebody's ass in the name of God simply coz they disagree with you? Plus, the so called "Struggle in the name of God" is SO mis-interpreted. It doesn't give you a free pass to do whatever you want. I can play metal in country that bans it, but in the name of God too. Geeze.
I don't like religion because it has been made from the very beginning by humans (wondering what was their place in the universe) and those same humans are using it for war and power over others. And I must again correct myself (guess I was tired yesterday); religion didn't bring war, Men brought war with the use of religion. Therefore, we could consider religion as a weapon to control others. But it has the same effect as a society, but maybe stronger. I agree that on a personnal view, religion may seem totally respectable.
well.. that's your OWN opinion, and i'm totally tolerante with it. I don't have any problem with anyone who has such point of view, coz we are simply looking at religion from a different perspective. But, when people start insulting and harming religious people coz they don't share the same opinion about it is racist statment; just like the religious people who harm those who have different religious views.
Everyone can believe in anything they want, there's no normality in beliefs. On a social plan I don't know; is religion responsible for anything, how could we know? It's present everywhere.
Well.. i don't know what Christianity or Judaism or any other religion says about how society should work.
But in Islam, it has what i would call External and Internal rules. I mean, Internal rules are the ones that should be applied within the realm of a Muslim society, the economy, how to divide wealth ect etct and it worked really well from its early centuries until some people started working on their own agenda.
External rules, are used with outsiders, non muslim societies. which is simply tolerance, respecting their religion, culture ect. Do not hurt them unless they start first, and if you u defend yourself, don't hurt non-worriors in a battle field.
That's what I know. And you can check it out yourself si vous etes interesé.
Now calm down brother I didn't mean to offend you.
I am mate, but i just wanted to clarify some stuff and i hope i did.
