There are no "Religions of peace".....

RE: There are no "Religions of peace".....
Quote:I don't care. 

Clearly, you do.

 
Quote:You don't need Jainism or Buddhism or Christianity or Hinduism or any religion to say, "Don't get violent with other humans".

Agreed.  Isn't it lucky that no one said so?

Quote:Jainism didn't invent peace anymore than any other religion.
 
Agreed.  Isn't it lucky that no one claimed Jains invented peace?

Quote:And just like the Amish, funny how it is easy to claim a minority religion with no majority would claim to be peaceful.
 
But Jains don't just 'claim' to be peaceful.  It is a basic tenet of their religion, as much as the resurrection is of Christianity.

Quote:Problem is majorities worldwide in our species history don't have to worry as much about the welfare of a minority.
 
True, but trite, and not really relevant to your original claim.  But you just keep moving those goalposts, there's a good lad.

Quote:So any given minority worldwide can easily market themselves as peaceful, when the the reality would be, that if they were the majority, and not the minority, they probably would not be so accommodating.

You keep missing the point that Jains don't 'market' themselves as peaceful.  You also seem to be having trouble understanding the words 'minority' and 'majority'.  By definition, the only 'majority' religion in the world is Christianity.

Quote:Again, this is not for me about Jainism, or Amish, or Jewish or Muslim, or Rasta or Muslim or Christian or Hindu.

Funny, that.  You titled your thread 'There are no "Religions of peace', then proceed to exclude eight religions.

Quote:It is very easy for humans as they unfortunately do a majority of the time, to forget that while they can be an oppressed minority geographically depending on history, does not mean they will always be the underdog and will always be kind to others. 

Which has nothing to do with your topic.

Quote:There is only a species regardless of label, capable of compassion. But our ability to do good or bad is not based on a label. Our species failure is assuming that a label is a cure all. Our actions are a solution, but our respective labels are still in no way universal and have no magic powers.

Which has nothing to do with your topic.
