First of all I would like to dedicate this topic to Lila856, for this is her title from one of the picks in this spot. It is such a interesting topic that i think its worth a forum.

My opinion about this topic:

Eventhough I believe it is not the religion who is the creator of all the problems, hate and wars regarding this issue (which has been going on before the pyramids were build and that is a long long time ago) but by some people behind them. Those people just make their own interpretations. Sadly some unfortunate people are attracted by that. Those minority/narrow minded people (I would like to call them) are the creators of the problems,hate,wars, victims and misunderstanding towards the majority who aren't that bad at all! They are getting all the attention in the news. Why do bad people gets all the attention? What will happen if we ignored them? Will they stop when they see that there are no reactions to there actions? It's like when you get bullied, if you ignore them after a while they will stop, right? I know this specific issue more complicated than that - but what if?

Some religions are so wealthy, I really dont understand why? Jesus was a carpenter, drank out of a wooden cup and he wore sandals, he wasn't a rich men. Why is the Vatican City so wealthy? The Pope even wears PRADA and some of them travel first class. With all that money they could help a lot of poor people, cause I think that is what they are suppose to do. I dont want to generalize, but it is striking that the most powerful leaders in Catholicism are living a glamorous life. Centuries ago they even guaranteed people a place in heaven when they donated a lot of money and every bad thing they've done in their life will be forgiven, how silly is that? Again, I dont want to insult anyone, just wanted to give some examples of how some people abuses the true meaning of a religion an hides behind it. Whats up with that?

Perhaps the Bible, Koran etc. have to be re-written with some 'modern' point of views. Maybe that would be a great contribution for world peace? (so start writing everybody - just a joke) I know some of you probably disagree or even hate me for saying this, but it's an very very old book and people back then believed the earth was flat.

Alltough I agree that people always will find other reasons to fight and hurt each other. Such a pitty, why are we such a weird creatures! Why do we make our lives so complicated? Why cant we just RESPECT each other, the unknown, the differents, cultures and the not so 'normal' from 'your'/'our' perspectives. Why are some of us so judgemental? Thats a lot of 'why'.

Though there are religions or a way of life that is very peaceful and not telling you how to live your life and what to do or not, but how to become one with yourself, live in harmony and have inner-peace. That's what I think we humans need, we should look into the mirror more often instead looking at others.
