You're looking at the world and picking out situations where religion is a cause of war and violence, but at the same time you're not considering all the other causes of war and violence. I hear so many people say that if we could just get rid of religion, the world would be a much better place. Well, we've never had a world without religion to compare it to, but one fact is that religion was not cause of most of the wars in history.
True enough, please accept my apology for the generalisation - I wasn't meaning to imply that religion was the only cause for war. Merely that it is a completely preventable one based, in my opinion of course, on fallacy. Either way, don't worry about stating a debate in my introduction thread. That's why these forums exist after all!
