Why are people in this earth eager to exclusively kill each other?

we are the only species that kills purely for the sake of killing. I feel like it must be that weve advanced too far for our own good. If we lived in relation to the earth and the universe then we may not be so selfish and insane. I think people dont see God because of all the religion.

Ah, that is a very good question and has been asked since very old times. To answer it is very difficult but I shall try my best. \nPerhaps it is because we are not perfect. In second place, people love themselves more than their neighbor, but they trick themselves into believing that what they do is correct because it is them who are doing it ( here is a matter of EGO ). NOBODY, not even the most ferocious criminals think of themselves as being bad people. They justify themselves, let's say, like Hitler did. Hitler created an indeology to justify what he said and did. The curious thing is that in Nurenberg, when the top nazis were on trial, not one of them used Hitler's teachings to defend themselves

Good question. That's something I've actually been thinking about as well after constantly reading in the news about the increasing amount of hatred and how people are suffocating the planet. I really don't see it being too long before humans destroy themselves. Considering how long humans have been on the planet, it will be a relatively short time before we're gone.

The aim is to create a peaceful world.  Its not the super powers that are fighting, its the freakin idiot, religious extremists and little tribes that are all fighting with each other or the super powers.

Often because many of the people urging war are basing their decisions on hate and fear-mongering, and that comes from their wanting to control others. If you can control others, why risk yourself?\n\nIn fact, those who do risk themselves are called fanatics, while those who just order others into battle are called praised as leaders.\n\nI like Chris de Burgh's idea:\n\n"So there's something we'll do to the leaders, before we go;\nLet's stick 'em in a room together - And make them fight it out..."

greed!power!Control! love! hate!  You name it.  Just about anything.  It's human nature for man to be superior to all others.  The first killing was when Cain killed Able.  And that was because of jealousy.

TERRORISTS ARE KILLERS THAT WANT TO IMPOSE OR TAKE SOMETHING (a religion,land,wealth/resources,a port etc)\nHUMANITY HAS ALWAYS HAD SMALL segment OF KILLERS. GLOBAL COMMUNICATION ALLOWS GROUPS TO BE EASILY LEAD BY KILLER FANATICS THAT PROMISE WEALTH OR "GOD" REWARD..\nMankind as a whole, has survived because this element must be killed or contained to secure the safety of all mankind.\nMankinds history is full of wars caused by this segment of killer "leaders" that seek to obtain THEIR goals \nPopulation size does not negate peaceful co-existance with neighbors even if they have a different culture or beliefs.\nTODAY, the weapons are more lethal and can effect even isolated populations so the danger is greater.

Probably the powerlessness.  the Palestinians for example can't fight the Israeli soldiers because they will die.  They would get killed if they tried to kill Israeli civilians too since many of them were in the military at some point.  Because they are so weak, they think they have no other way to defeat others than by blowing themselves up.  And they have people who manipulate them into thinking that they will be rewarded in Heaven.  Those murderers are also often admired in those communities.

Yes...however, the human race is one of the few species on the planet that kills one another for conflict not just for survival. In most cases when animals confront eachother it is very rare that one of the animals is killed, let alone seriously injured.

Yes, it is something that worries a lot of people I am sure.\n\nThe sad fact of the matter is that humans are naturally aggressive creatures. Our society is formed round the notion of the alpha male, or more specifically, the alpha 'country', this can be seen clearly from examples in history, mankind has always sought to gain more and more territory and kill more and more people. \n\nOf course, now the situation worsens, as you mentioned, we now have nuclear war heads to worry about. \n\nThe only thing you can do, and all of us can do, is make it obvious that this is not acceptable behaviour, and that caring and loving people around you is a far more effective way of living in the world. Keep the message alive, and don't fear, us peace loving people may yet save the day!

People who feel that way are responsible for all kinds of atrocities, because your religion devalues life.  There are even people who think a nuclear holocaust would be a good thing, for the same reason.  It's absolutely nuts, and I would urge you to seek professional help before you start killing people.

haha, because theyre afriad of Satan. We keep to ourselves, and will destroy anyone who tries to disturb the peace we've established.

I totally agree with you, we all have the same colour blood and a beating heart, so why can't we just get along with each other life is far too short as it is without wasting it on stupidity and hatred.

No matter how much most of us think that we could never do anything like that, no matter how angry or temporarily insane we become, I guess some people are just more naturally inhibited to cross that threshold than others.  You know how it is, you're watching the news or reading the paper about someone that did something awful, and so often you hear people say something like "he (or she) seemed so nice, I never could have imagined them doing something like that".  Either these murderers were really good actors to fool people into thinking they were so wonderful, or it just says more about human nature.  I'm like you, though, I wish it could all be peace, love and happiness.

Because all they need is a tiny bit of incentive to go off on a killing spree.  And it works doesn't it?  Look how so many came out condemning the cartoons in order to pacify the radicals.  Every time they go off the deep end, the rest of the world is standing there in horror and fear then finally succumbing to siding with the extremists just so the violence stops.  It's a very effective way of silencing the masses and getting what they want.  Which is the first step in forceful conversion to Islam.

Thou shalt not kill.  Turn the other cheek.  Vengeance is a primitive desire that the species presumably will grow out of.  It is also condemned by Christianity.  Not a lot going for it.

some kill because they have perverted the Word by misinterpereting it.  in the old testament, David, for example, would kill to rid the world of evil that had become interwoven into he fabrics of a certain race.  He would kill to purge.  this is a very serious calling, however, and probably will not be used in today's context.  only God Himself can ask a man to do this, and that man would be given the means to do so without breaking any of God's laws. (remember, the commandment said not to "murder", not "kill")  God will rarely tell one of His children to kill under the new covenant; He would rather see them saved, since now it is possible for all men to come to Him.  \n\nreally, for the most part, today people kill in the name of God because they have misread or misinterpereted the Scripture, and are extremists anway.  (ie. hitler)\nvery perverse people reside in this world.
