Quote:But the tool doesn't cause the killing, the people do. It's not so much of a tool as a motivator Just like all those gun people believe "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Even though I'm not a big supporter of guns, they hit the nail on the head there.
If you so strongly, zealously and passionately believed that shooting people in the head would make you go to a martyrs heaven and have eternal bliss, for instance - that's different to 'having guns'. Religion is not so much of 'tool' as it is a motivator.
