Theres a key difference between believing that shooting people in the head is martyrdom and believing in God. The people who are believed to shoot someone in the head to achieve eternal bliss are told this NOT by the scripture, but by a person. A person who manipulates that motivating tool to be used in a deadly manner.

How's that a key difference? Whether you're motivated to kill by your belief in scripture or belief in a certain person, it's the same result, carnage. In these extremes of faith in such.

But there is a major difference because its never the belief in God that causes the carnage. Its belief in the person manipulating that faith. Therefore we can't BLAME the "God" for all the carnage, who we blame are those irresponsible tyrants manipulating the people through the use of their faith. Its a very big difference. So instead of spending our energy hating God we should hate the people who lead the Crusades and hate the people who take those beliefs and turn it into massacres.
