Think for just a moment and DO NOT CAST the stone. Religion is a prime source for almost every war. Stop being critical and be more accepting, as well don't push and no one will push back, too simple but hard to come to terms.

It's not religion that is to blame for causing almost every war. It's power. Power over resources. Power over people. Religion can be used as a tool for rallying. Religion can also be used as a scapegoat. Religion can be used to maintain power. When one group is using its religion to further it's political base and wants to gain power over another group of people with a different religion being used to further it's political base, it may look on the surface to be a religious war. Don't be decieved. It's a political war.

Stop being critical and be more accepting, as well don't push and no one will push back, too simple but hard to come to terms. Lets look at the major wars of the 20th cent. WWI caused by geo-political rivalries in the Balkins inflamed by the alliance system. WWII caused by expansionist policies of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Korean War caused by the Communist north trying to conquer the south. Vietnam war (see above).Religion had little or no infuence on the causes of those wars. "Don't push and no one will push back" - now why did we not try that with Hitler? Read some history!

DIRTY BIRDIE, maybe should just become a mormon already and get it over with. You seem so envious!
