[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same origins but different interpretations and paths.  I find these three religions more to do with history and politics and less with spirituality. So they are the cause of strife and war.

Oriental religions like Buddhism is more spiritual and peaceful.[/quote]

Let's not confuse the history of the Orient with one being entirely peaceful. I know many, many peaceful, spiritual Christians who look for God's grace and works in everything they do. [/quote]

Individuals, yes, but Christian countries have gone to war in the name of Christ. [/quote]

Are you talking about the Crusades?

I thought of something when the Crusades were brought up in an earlier thread.  At the time of the Crusades (1000 AD), there was no printing press.  Most people were not literate.  Regular people did not read the Bible, nor did they know what was in it.  People did whatever authority figures likely told them to do.  A few bloodthirsty people could easily sway that type of population.  So while this doesn't excuse Christendom completely (hello Catholic church) I think that it is a useful point when we think about the people who are committing violence in the name of religion.  Just saying.[/quote]
