Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By USPguy: Gee, wonder why they don't keep their religion themed posts in the religious forum?  I could care less what someone believes or doesn't believe, it's not MY business. But some people are hellbent on shoving their beliefs into others' face at every single opportunity. Virtually all of the conflicts in the Middle East since WW2 has been nothing but religious wars. How bout that Northern Island history too?

Therefore, in the eyes of the (mostly Catholic) native Irish, all Protestants were probably British. This was borne out by voting patterns, and was the reason Northern Ireland voted to remain within the British Empire when the rest of Ireland, which hadn't been filled with (mostly Church of England Protestant) British transplants, voted to become independent in the early 20th century. Surface level thinking really does cause confusion, doesn't it. Lots of people tend to know more than they know, if you get my drift. |

Add up the hundreds of millions killed in the 20th century and let me know how many were the result of religion. Communism and socialism are religions in which secular authority replaces the devine.

Sometimes religion is used as a justification but even then it’s not always the real reason. Sometimes it is the real cause. If the 20th C has proved anything it’s that murder and genocide happen at a much greater rate due to the absence of Judeo-Christian faith and morals. Interesting how atheists, who “don’t care what others think” are so triggered when others dare to post something which makes them confront their reality. No freeloading:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By USPguy: Originally Posted By kncook: .nor was Hitler although he faked a “Lutheran church” (while hanging those that objected). Yet he went after the Jews, a religious distinction. Just a more modern version of burning witches, another religious practice. As well as many other ethnic groups. If your understanding of hitler and the holocaust is limited to what you learned in public school then it would make sense. Jews were not fully integrated fully into the communities (generally) and provided a good scapegoat for German troubles following ww1. However, they made up approximately half the victims so clearly is wasn’t simply a hatred of Jews but something more complex. Especially when it was more about being ethnically Jewish than a devout practicing Jew of faith. But if I were to over simplify the topic it would be more accurate to describe it as the “other”.

Every good thing in your life is unalterably downstream of religion. The fact that western civilization comes from a Judeo-Christian background might not be an accident. You not liking it doesn't change that. |
