Quote:I'm saying that whoever perpetuated these crimes were wrong. Then I'm saying that humanitarian catastrophes have been caused in the name of many things. There's been border disputes. Should we get rid of borders? There's nationalism. Should we get rid of nations? There's disagreements in philosophies. Should we never be allowed to disagree?The existence of border territories is a necessity and has always been. The existence of religion is not a worldwide necessity. Sure you are free to have any faith you want, but that doesn't erase the fact many people commit hideous actions in the name of their god or religion, while trying to impose a theocracy. And honestly, secretly down inside all religions want to convert the entire world, it's not rare to see Islams protesting with headlines saying 'IMPOSE SHARIA LAW WE HATE DEMOCRACY AND SECULARISM'.
Everything that is a necessary evil, like borders or money is to blame for war and fighting, it's not more excusable than killing in the name of religion, but still, necessary evils are needed in the world at least until we find a better alternative. Religion only serves the purpose of satisfying a certain specified group of people, and we're lucky if they don't want to dictate society's rules.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
