Drowning In A Sea Of Blood From Religious Violence And Hate

          Two disastrous combinations are religion mixed with violence, and religion mixed with bigotry. There is plenty of both, and it is only getting worse.
           What one religion claims is a defensive war may very well be a war of aggression. Expanding a religion by war may have been non apocalyptic in the unpopulated world of centuries ago, but is the recipe for apocalypse in the present age of a heavily populated world filled with nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Instead of the endless justifications for killing, if religion instead promoted and practiced tolerance and the peaceful resolution of conflicts, most of the bloodshed would end and humanity would stand a chance.
           When a religion spins nonsense that they are the resistance, rest assured they are poison and nothing more. Liberation does not come from religious sanctioned killing. Resistance is nothing more than the excuse to kill.
            There is no such thing as holy war. There is only war, an evil onto itself.
            Many of us grew up perceiving the Soviet Union and Red China as a threat. We never knew how poisonous and persistent is something far worse- religion that promotes war, terror and hate.
