I heard something that made me think - what do you think?

Question

"There is just enough religion in the world to make each other hate each other - but not enough to love one another".

Answer 1

ur right to think. in the world kids r brought up to respect and tolerate everyone but all the things in tv are giving all these reasons to look down upon others.

Answer 2

if i killed you because your version of the tooth fairy was different to mine people would think i was absolutely insane

but thats what some religious people do

if only animals were aware of this, they would p**s themselves laughing at humans

Answer 3

Each different religion is utterly convinced, and ultimately wishes to prove, that they have the almighty on their side; that their version of the way life should be lived is the true and correct one. When you have a level of conflict of that magnitude, hatred and intolerance are the only things it can produce. Very sad.

Answer 4

cat says i hear song get stuck in head over and over again, sometimes read in voice of morgan freeman

Answer 5

I think what you heard makes good sense.

Answer 6

religion does not make people hate each other, people choose to do that all by themselves. In fact the vast majority if not all (not including extremism) actually tells people to accept everyone and love everyone and respect everyone. Even if they don't have the same belief system as you. The fact that it doesn't happen says more about the "followers" of religion as oppose to the religion itself.

Answer 7

this is the truth, religions today are played against one another and we frown upon the others rather than reaching out and helping each other as the Bible teaches us.  It seems that if you dont attend a certain church, dress a certain way, attend a certain school, then you are not adequate, which is not true.  We should all reach out and give others a loving, helping hand!  God Bless YOU

Love thy brother as thy neighbor...

...on another note, the bible says "greater love hath no man, than he would lay down his life for his friend"  (I think i got that right)  In my opinion ppl take this the wrong way...i believe that its talking about war-- being a soldier, giving your life so that your country might be free...the other morning i was watching C-Span and they were presenting a medal to an 18 year old's parents for his heroic actions.  He was in a humvy which was combat locked (they couldnt get out until it stopped-- keeps others from getting in too)  and upon enemy fire, there was a grenade thrown into their vehicle...there were 5 ppl in the vehicle, and the boy who was getting the medal screamed 3 times "bomb, BAIL OUT...bail out...GET OUT..." but they were all locked in, he was on look out and would have been able to save himself, but rather he threw himself on the grenade and it killed him but the other 4 lived...this is prime example of this scripture

that got a lil off topic but you are right...we are taught to look down upon others and "hate" them rather than to love them for who they are...it seems all we know is war
