The concepts of generousity, reciprocity and good will are pretty much universal and they are good guidelines on how to live life. It's the politicians/kings/mullahs/popes etc... that twist these teachings into evil to achieve their own goals of power and greed. I think essentially most religions are good.

That just takes it to a whole new level. Impetuousman: vicious circle, round and round we go. girlstar7: if you ask me, organised religion is a fallacy. Just like your examples, not only are there Muslims fighting Christians, they are also fighting amongst themselves - all depending on how you interpret the *same* holy books.

I don't follow any particular religion either for a very similar reason. if there is a God, why is there such sadness in this world? why are there so many children starving, so many wars going on? and religion is the cause of so many wars and has been throughout history. not just Muslims vs. Christians but look at the Catholics vs. Protestants in Northern Ireland. I mean, they are both Christians as well! very sad, but we should consider ourselves lucky (as you said in your last post) that we are NOT living in a war zone and that we can afford to live comfortably.

When they ask for an apology, think who needs to apologize first... but of coz, why bother to ask anyway? They don't think. Let he who has no sin cast the first stone.
