Quote:I don't think religion has anything to do with wars!! Looking through history you would find communities with several religions who live together in peace.


A fact noted by Voltaire.

Quote:If there were only one religion in England, there would be danger of tyranny; if there were two, they would cut each other's throats; but there are thirty, and they live happily together in peace.

The trick is keeping them divided. If the religious ever unite, watch out.
The dark ages will return.
