Though founded by a pacifist, Christianity has justified some of the most brutal slaughters in human history, but we may be able to recapture its peaceful essence.
Altogether too many religions sects of both major and minor religions, despite verbally professing a desire for peace and justice in the world, are actually pro-war, pro-homicide and pro-violence in practice (or they may be silent on the subject, which is, according to moral theology, the same as being pro-violence).
Obvious examples include those portions of the three major war-justifying religions of the world: fundamentalist Islam, fundamentalist Judaism and fundamentalist Christianity.
TVNL Comment: The reason religions exist are to control people and use them like slaves. If you can get them to believe in fairy tales you can pretty much get them to believe anything. Break down their critical thinking and condition them to accept all things, no matter how unbelievable, from "trusted icons," no proof required...and no common sense required.
