Fear is a great contributor to changing idealogies. also Many believe if it doesn't effect them then it shouldn't be a problem. I believe education is the key to making this change. Schools of all levels and grades should make it a priority to travel to various countries to experience and understand religions, lifestyles, belief systems, and traditions to create more peace amongst people. I believe with a better understanding we may create more peace in this world. It is just a suggestion I propose and not a solution for I am not sure if it would work. It is a possiblity. The next question would be how would it be funded that every school in this nation could do more travelling abroad while learning school materials. i don't think it is necessary for all children to travel, in fact I think an exchange would be more beneficial cause our countries would also get to see our culture. |

Seems you don't understand we need war BECAUSE of religion. I wish I had that bible quote, I think it was something like this;"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it."
With religion and the such telling people to go to war, all the people being heads over heals, to the point to wear they use religion as a cruch, mainly because they fear hell, this is why we have war. Even once of the biggest religions in the US killed over 6 million people during the crusades, the church still justifys it to this day. Look at a book called "Malafacaius Malafacarum", it means "The Witches Hammer", horrible stuff what they use to do to people. I don't agree with the war, but I think we need war. I don't like the idea of everyone in a damn race to see who can blow who us with the bigges bomb only one time, but that dosen't matter, there going to do it anyway, there like kids, everyone wats the biggere toy, with the advances in techology it isn't going to happen until someone strikes first, with a bog toy. No one should feel like there Karama is being tilted to that of the negative side for not helping the cause, I slightly think the cause is Pathatic. The way to stop all this is to do what one of our presadents thought of doing a long time ago, build a giant wall arounf the US, the Swiss have this, do you ever see the Swiss at war? No, because they stay out of peoples bussinuess, we should learn from countrys that stay out of fire. |

I believe that we are all interconnected and therefore trying to build literal or virtual walls around ourselves is pointless. We now know for example that what we do to the earth, water air etc in our country can have adverse effects on others.
Do you believe it is right for one group of people to cause death and destruction on the rest of us because they are following some man-made book filled with hate for all others who don't worship as they do? |
