Do all religions other than Earth based ones need to kill and destroy to be good religions.?

Let's face it, the mainstream religions seem to have a problem with the need to hurt, kill or destroy to become greater. Wouldn't more people flock to your religions if you preached love and understanding and you really meant it. Bad in the name of Good is an oxymoron. Heavy on the moron part!

Update:

Christian, Jewish and Muslim are the three mainstream religions.

Earth-based religions are religions that seek to protect the earth and not leave it as nuked slag for the next generation.

    I love that last part, the heavy on the moron part. Very well put. Not everybody in those mainstream religions have a problem with the need to hurt, kill, and destroy. A lot of them might have a problem with doing that kind of stuff, I don't know, that isn't for me to judge. But, there are some that stick out like a sore thumb and preach about peace and love. But others, show peace and love, which to me, makes more sense. So, if I were to show you peace and love, then I won't have such a big possibility of breaking that peace and love, because that's how I'm living and not how I say that I'm living.

    I don't think that last paragraph made much sense. Sorry about that, but I hope it made a little bit of sense.

    Please let us all know when you find a "non-earth based" religion as I for one would enjoy meeting the life form that practices such.

    Earth based religions are the ones promoting so much murder, killing and bloodshed.

    I think I understand what you were trying to say however, your use of the language is so poor that it might be confusing to others.

    Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism are non-earth-centered religions that aren't violent. But otherwise, I see your point.

    I think the division is more Eastern and Western religious thought...

    There are however exceptions to any generalization, ie Quakers, among a number of others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

    Religion on a whole is destructive. Physically, mentally, emotionally (cause it hurts when the truth is found out and u realize u believed in a lie) etc.

    All religions are earth-based... except arguably UFO cults.

    its the ethnic cleansing mentality that is dangerous ..if Jesus died then He died that the "sinners" could be saved ... He didnt say go forth and wipe them out ..

    no Christianity has no need to kill, except in a time for war, but we discourage killing, and to fredremo ,my idea is "convert and if you dont ,oh well its your choice", not "convert or die"
