Default Re: The war on faith.

[ QUOTE ]
Saying that religious faith, in general, is the cause for war and fighting is like saying video games are the cause for violent behavior in teenagers.

WTF? This is completely wrong. I have never heard any of those violent teenagers (Columbine, etc.) say that they killed people because a video game told them too, or because they were inspired by a video game. It's the parents and amateur psychologists who say that. On the other hand, terrorists routinely slaughter people and readily admit that their religous faith was the cause for their violence. Therefore, saying that religous faith is the cause of war and fighting is nothing at all like saying video games are the cause of deviant teenage behavior.
