RE: Dealing with problems given to us by our Governments..
The only way to know if "religions" solely are responsible for the massacres is to turn back time and delete religion. This is obviously not going to happen. My point is religion is a tool to control, but to control those who aren't aware enough of their manipulation to realize their being controlled, and those who want war will have it one way or another. Be it religion, land, food, or blasphemy. It is the human condition sadly...
I agree. Definitely, religion is a tool like other things in the hand of powerful people who know how to manipulated human thoughts. However, religions were not created to make human life difficult. It was the greed and ego of the people which made them harmful to the health of the society.
If anything religion is helpful in thwarting such things as greed and ego. My point was definitley not that religions are "bad", in case I came across that way. But that sociopaths will use w/e tools necessary to meet their end. Sometimes religion is blamed for the worlds ills. I used to be one of these half-wits. At least I explored enough to learn I was wrong! ;)
