    i think of the view that religions reason conflict and dying is in line with navie assumptions and misinformed examine. Christianity, working example, has probably finished the main good for mankind than the different humanitarian attempt interior the international blended. in spite of if that's donating money, construction colleges, water systemes and properties, or giving care and help in different techniques alongside with adoption (or sponsership) of undesirable toddlers international. The crusades often get reported as the thank you to defame Christianity is a few way, yet have you ever quite even researched why the crusades have been occurring? besides, are you quite waiting to stipulate Christianity with the help of the crusades? How approximately defining Christianity with the help of what Christ (and the Bible in comprehensive) taught, and what the masses of thousands upon hundreds of thousands of Christians have finished for the needy and those in melancholy? faith, a minimum of Christianity, betters humanity with the help of a few distance, greater effective than the different faith or philosophy prepare. One very final ingredient, do not overlook concerning the depraved roots of atheism and the evil that has been finished with the help of people who adhere to this perception device.

    Wealth and Power.

    These are addicting once people have them. This is what motivates building empires and blind ambition is a trait that many have them with some just not caring about their fellow citizens. The Civil War in El Salvador started when the poor citizens became feed up with the rich,but it got worse when the Salvadorean currency,Colon,was replaced by the US dollar.

    REX-84 is the plan of US politicians in case the poor US citizens get fed up with the rich and start a political civil war. They are using FEMA to build these detention centers with many Americans ignoring them.

    You think you already know the answer but you're wrong. Typical atheist left wing bullshit! You guys (gals) are so easy to figure out. It's not religion. Try reading a freaking book instead of spouting the left wing mantra. World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War (just to name a few) were not about religion. You're an idiot.
