Loving God More Than Your Family & Spouse

In war torn theocracies, virtually everyone is religious, so there's no fair comparison. The people who do bad things there are going to be religious.

Speculating that if they were all Buddhist things would be different is pretty pointless and probably naive. Religion isn't going to be the sole reason for all the unrest.

Outside of such places, judging the whole of religion by the extremists isn't fair.

Now I'm defending fucking religion, what's going on? Religion is shit and I think everyone would be better off without it. But I'm not going to say that replacing it with a different load of nonsense would suddenly make it all OK.

And again, I don't know what your point is, because we're talking about different types of indoctrination. Not personal choices. People can't choose to suddenly believe Buddhist stuff and abandon Christianity because someone tells them they'd be better off. I assume you claim to really believe this Buddhist stuff, not just play at believing because you think it makes you a better person.
