And while I can say that extremists were to blame for the deaths in France, many of the devastating global events have been steeped in religious beliefs - however distorted these views may be.

PP again. And many of the most devastating global events have been based on secular views, and I say that as a near-socialist. What's your point? Do you always base your opinions on cherry-picking and selective evidence?[/quote]

I will criticize poor leaders who kill in the name of anything - with the true victims being helpless and mostly innocent people.  So to kill in the name of power over a territory is horrific. However, to kill in the name of some god is worse!

The Crusades were just as bad as vicious acts committed by ISIS.  I'm not cherry-picking anything, honey bun.  If your god is so loving, why do priests sexually abuse kids?  Why do people bomb abortion clinics?  Why do people commit hate crimes against gays?  Why do people try to FORCE gays to take the "straight" path through conversion therapy?  Why must Jews hate Palestinians? Why must Palestinians hate Jews?

the common theme?  religion
religion that protects its adherents despite how wrong their actions are

Don't talk to me about extremist views either.  These views are all rooted in religious frameworks that are ALL outdated and based on texts taken out of an historical context that no longer applies today.

near Socialist - lol!  You know that we should never mix religion with politics!  weakens and divides a country . . .

Why is killing for religion "worse" than secular killing? The victims are still dead. In both cases the killing over territory was justified in the name of something --secular ideology or religion. But the victims are still dead. So why is one way of killing "worse" than the other?

Your views on religions "all" being outdated are just your own views, and you admit to barely researching your own views. So let's not bother going down that track.

No need to call me honey-bun.[/quote]
