isnt the whole point of religion is to get people to live with each other in harmony? And NOT kill each other?

No, it refers to ANY form of magick.
If I'd have put the whole thing, it then chats on about how it's a "prostitution to God".

i think this is started by someone who is anti-islam. with the refernece to "bombings" yes they do happen. but it is not the only religion with violence around it. what about priests who abuse young children? christianity isnt as pure as you think.

Finally, a thread I can participate in!!! Smile

I think that religion not only contributes to wars and such, but to incidents in our own towns...Many people use their beliefs to justify their actions. Like, some devout Christians I know think that beating up gays is OK, just because their religion has deemed their lifestyle "unacceptable". And of course there's all the holy wars occuring in the Mideast and there was violence in what was Yugoslavia (I think) about religion, Muslims in particular. So while religion doesn't necessarily contribute to all the violence in the world, makes up a large portion of it.

So what you're saying...that religion is, infact, indirectly to blame for violence?
I agree. Very Happy

Pretty much, yeah. Sometimes people drag religion into things without even realizing it.

However, (don't let me get in the way of your christian/muslim/miscellaneous faith bashing) One of the most prominent messages any religion will preach is peace. Yes, even the Islamic suicide bombers, the pagan burning Christians...

You should'nt go by the Old Testament anymore those laws were'nt enforced anymore when Jesus died on the cross. Thats why instead there are the Ten Commandments because we should live under the law [Leviticus:20: 6,27] we should live under the grace. o_o
