Many people fight on behalf of their religion ( and of course their Gods?)?

i don't know.\n \nalthough you are trying to make God and religion sound Violante, let me remind you that most wars are fought for individual rights. such as here in America our first war was for the right to rule our self, had almost nothing to do with religion, second main war was to settle the argument for slavery, had very little to do with religion. next main war was WWI, it started when a driver took a wrong turn and some one from Austria got assassinated. had nothing to do with religion. next major war was ww2. it had to do with Hitler invading country's, and the Japanese bombing us. than there was koria. had to do with borders and Communism. next war was Vietnam same as before. wow, all these wars and not a single one over God. \n bu bu but in philosophy class thay said God caused all these wars.\n just because theres a war in the middle east dose not mean it was caused by or for God.\n geeze, most of you people wont even live for God, let alone die for Him.

Too damn many to suit me...\nThere isn't a God. and the idiots making war for their non-existent gods should all be lined up and shot.

No. Because then there would be sects within that religion. One group wouldn't like how another worships...then one group will think another isn't devout enough. Then, bammo! War. Again. Still. sigh.\nReligion only leads to war because of human beings.\nPeople are the root of war. Not any one religion.

People reject God and make up their own religion.

Not all religions are, just a lot of them. And yes, it's a great way to control people, I'm sure that's partly why they were created.

I prefer not to categorized by that obnoxious distinction.\n\n"Religion" has been the cause of most of the bloodiest wars in history. It is also determined by the United Nations to still be the number one cause of wars. Even today, that is why the United States is in Iraq.\n\nAlthough I was raised a  Christian, I have studied Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Gnosticism, most other religions as well as the philosophy of Buddhism.\n\nI've tried to take the best of these and reject the worst of these and combine them with my physics and scientific background to come to where I am now.\n\n"RELIGION" just sides each one against the other and too often blind people from seeing the overall picture.  It is beautiful, they do not know what they are missing.\n\nI guess you would call me "spiritual".

people dont h8 on the ground of religion.  it is simply that certain individuals who enjoy hating others on the ground of difference use religion as a vehicle for their hate.  even if there were no religions, these individuals would find another vehicle to express their hate.\n\nconversely,there are a lot of religious/spiritual people who use their beliefs to promote love and tolerance of difference in others, and they remember that we are arl human, each of us with an equal right to an opinion.  truly religious folk make an effort to make life better for humanity and arl living things.  if there is a god of love, am sure he wants us to look after his creation, and not be divisive for the sake of it.

No, unfortunately. Humans are naturally aggressive, so even without religion, we would fight over languages, color, political borders, water rights, blue-eyed people, pollution...it goes on and on and on.

Religious fanaticism.

No, Allah i sthe God, while Buddha was a spritual leader, Christ PBUH was a prophet so was Muhammad (PBUH), Krishna was an avtar of god.\nAs for being best they are not comparable to each other, while Allah is the supreme Being...rest are simple messengers people like you and me....living in flesh and blood, and no one has ever proclaimed to be the best and everyone has proclaimed that their is one Supreme Entitty to which we should submit..though may be been quoted in different names.....\nAS for fighting ecah other....this is nature of humans to fight...and when they are lefty with no other reason to fight the fight in the name of religion...and forget that the religion they are fightin for has already told them to respect other religions and not to shed blood....but some fanatics do not understand that and fight...not to prove that their religion is best but to prove their imagination about their religion is best...

I agree with him....religion is the cause of many a war!  (in God's name-ironic huh?)

To be honest with you I really don't know but it is really stupid to fight over religion. those christians who don't respect other religion is  considered biases, or racist. So I believe they are bad people themselves. But remember, other religious people are like that too, so not all christians are like that. there is only one God in this Universe and I don't think God cares about thousands of religion. What God really cares about is that you go to heaven.

no its just religious fanatics in general - its the worst when somebody thinks their kind of religion is superior and go violent to prove it - whatever religion it is, makes no difference

I really like the way you put that! Very cool. Yeah, prolly more blood has been shed there, in the various names of various Peace Loving deities, than any other land. I'm dumbfounded by the irony myself.

Religion is responsible for more war than anything else.  People believe that God is on their side and they think that others are wrong and therefore heretical and blasphemous.  It is an age old problem.\n\nWhen mankind lived on the African Savannah it was very important to identify with and support one's tribe or clan against all others, especially if they were different.  These traits are not as useful or necessary in today's world but they are there nonetheless.  Man has not learned to deal with them for what they are and kill each other unnecessarily.

Although religion is good in many ways, it has also created a lot of wars. Music can cross boarders that religion can't.
