HadiAfghan  +  318932 Tue, 23 Jan 07 05:20 PM Since the history begins, we study that more than world's 95% wars are caused by religions. It is religion that preach and thus create wars against other religions like Judism agains Islam, Islam against Chiristinity, Christinity against Hinduism and so on. Present day wars (Islam's war on Kufar, Osama's war on U.S and America's war on terrorism) are also fruit of religious hatred and prejudice which are destroying the humanity. I think all the religions have created to enslave other people and get power. What do you think and why?

	nona the brit  +  318944 Tue, 23 Jan 07 05:57 PM I'm not sure that I would agree that most wars are caused by religion. Many are, but certainly not most. I think many wars are essentially wars of conquest for land. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,743 The name says it all.

	Daemon  +  342716 Sat, 24 Mar 07 05:14 AM Very few wars religions were caued by religions. Wars generally are caused by things like greed, vengeance, intolerance, resource inequalities, and dozens of other such factors. If religion caused war, then the entire planet would be in more or less perpetual bloodbath. Religions have generally been used to legimate wars. That is to say, the use the religion to convince the people that the war really is acceptable. After all, with most people it takes some convincing to have them risk their to go out and kill a bunch of people they've never met. Often this just requires selective quoting, re-interpreting key parts, and the like. Sometimes it actually involves changing the religion itself. For example, in WWII the Japanese government essentially created an entirely new variety of Shinto for the purpose. Daemon Joined on Sat, Mar 24 2007 New Member 05 Quoting
