Why I'm not a terrorist

[WinterHold]

The problem is that by supporting your book of fairy tales, you are indirectly supporting those who take it literally enough to do harm to others.

Drop the fairy tale book please, we have enough real problems in the world without contributing to crazy people thinking murder is a holy venture.

Atlass33 ^^^^^^^^^^^

Keep re-reading this, but trust me, I have the same problem with every single religion worldwide.

EVERY RELIGION in the world, as umbrella labels have competing sub sects, whom cannot agree on how to follow the writings or which holy leader to follow. There is a liberal  non violent left, and a conservative "all or nothing" right, IN EVERY RELIGION, to greater or lesser degrees. Not even Hindus or Buddhists escape this.

I really wish my well intended liberal non violent theists friends would try to see what I see, that our ability to do good and be non violent is not in old writings, or in people in funny robes and hats, but in our GENES.

I DO NOT expect religion do go way,no, but this planet is too damned small now, to give so much time and attention to our differences and not enough time to solving global issues of pollution, famine, poverty. 

Atlass33 it still remains others under your same umbrella label DO read the same Koran and justify violence with it. But the same can be said for Christians and Jews.

Religion is a HORRIBLE way to conduct national, much less global diplomacy. But we can seek to make governments less dogmatic with the principle of protecting all humans equally.

I personally think, and actually have an evidence from the book I speak about, that the religion called Islam is not calling for violence, but as means to deter aggression or similar violence.

Kill the killer; don't kill his people.
Punish the thieve; don't punish his family.

The Quranic verses prove this; only when taken literally.
It is Shia and Sunna across history, who worked to destroy this concept, and make broad, wide interpretations to replace precise, accurate verses.

The sects of Islam are not Islam. But an ugly mutation of the faith.

 Take concepts like charity, I'll know that religion affected somebody if I saw them giving.

Wait, so atheists don't give?    Rather confused.

Where did I say that????

I said "religion is what influenced charity".
Everybody gives. But fear God, fear hell, and you shall feel hunger even if full.

Moreover; charity in its current forms is always related to religion. Imagining a Church without a charity center is quite...dosn't make sense?
