Why do religions continue to fight wars that can’t be won? These wars have been going on for thousands of years. Why?
The
self-righteous blame it on religious extremism without acknowledging
the fact that extremists are following the same doctrine of their own
religion. The religious minded people of today have this attitude that
they are not killing people, it’s those damn extremists. Common sense
should tell you that the primitive and daunting passages that are in the
Bible, Koran and Torah, should be changed and replaced with logical and
loving passages for our time. All passages with hate and advocating
death to anyone with different beliefs should be repudiated and removed
from the doctrine. Today is the age of civilized people, we do not burn
people to the stake, stone them to death, or cut their heads off. If
your God is such a loving God, why is there so much hate within the
religions? Where is all this love that religions are advocating but not
giving or receiving? I believe all religious people should not hang
their heads in prayer, they should hang their heads in shame until they
can show true love for all humankind. This can be done by repudiating
the hateful passages that are in the doctrine, not condoning them.
