"...more wars are fought IN THE NAME of religion..."
let me translate that for you
religion is used to facilitate and lubricate waragree that religion is a stupid reason for war
right and properly -- war is always about land and booty
the only function of religion is manipulating the ignorant masses
to a large extent, television has taken the traditional role of religion -- we believe in WMD because we saw people say it on TV -- just as effective as walking on water or rising from the dead -- television is a miracle more miraculous than anything religion ever made up.
"Religion is the opiate of the masses" ever heard that one ???
Everyone is watching war on tv -- that makes it unreal -- same function as religion and dope.
here's a statistic for you: In the US armed forces -- all the Navy Seals and Special Forces teams = 99% of these expert killers call themselves Evangelical Christian
the word : "Assassin" is derived from "hashish"... suicidal killers in old Arabia took hash (and likely opium) to catch a glimpse of Paradise -- a place they were sure to enter if they were killed in the process of killing (for Islam or their Master -- same thing)
the US special forces do exactly the same thing -- being Evangelical Christians -- they don't mind putting their lives in extreme danger -- "believing" they will go to Heaven.
morons
you gotta be nuts, or religious (same thing) to do what they do
