pitbulmom71, no, human nature is the cause of so many wars and death. if man didnt have religion to use an excuse for war, he'd use something else like race or condiment preference.

TheLadyKane, Religion often plays a big part. I agree with the definition of Bokonism...In the beginning, man created God/gods.

I do believe in God, However I find it unnecessary too believe in religion!

Grumpy Fossil, an interesting theory but unsound. Belief in absolute right is the tripping point that inspires evil. if one becomes so entrenched in the belief of inalienable rights...then you are on the road to conflict, violence, hatred...and this is all ego driven...It us such a cop out to blame religion...

2gameORnot2game4mE, And one who causes purposeful harm and death are not those who " misinterpret " religion.....they act on their very interpretation on a given religion. e.g. Muslim extremists: Isis.

2gameORnot2game4mE, Evil is NOT the lack of religion....it is the opposite of good in a given religion.
