Why do we fight other countries battles in a war far too long that our country isn't even concerned about? Why invade another country to try to change their government, when we still complain about our own? Why do we have different beliefs, laws, loves, wants, needs, borders, and governments? Why can't we all live together in a big world as Atheists, Islams, Christian, or why gods at all?
Ok, I'm gonna say some stuff about the religion crap. What makes us believe in God and such things? Well, as that other guy said, it's in our dna. Also, we need a religion to guide us. It gives us hope when we're in a bad situation. The thing about the same sex marriage, and the pork thing is just some bull shit in religion. The warfare also links to some religions. Look below about the crusaders.
why do we go as far as to kill ourselves and others in the name of our lord, if we have one?
Well, have you heard of crusaders that killed thousands of men "in the name of god?" Actually, one commander thought that this was wrong and in one crusade, ordered his men not to kill anymore of the people in the city they were invading. He left for a couple of minutes and come back seeing that his men killed the remaining people. God never stated that we should kill people that do not believe in our religion. Although, he did encourage his followers to change their thoughts about their religion.
