That's Not Quite Right

True lots of people have died over religion, but you don't seem to realize the underlying reason for this. It's the same reason wars are fought over land, greed, pride, money, superstitions and so on. Many more people have died for these reasons than religion, and until the underlying reason for all these causes are eliminated there will be wars. You have to admit there is more than one reason for war in the world. By the way you're doing the exact same thing you're condemning. Saying your way is better than some other way, which I've done too.

It's also true that all religious books are flawed to some extent and religious leaders and churches are too, but I think you have to admit they are good starting points. Why condemn your brothers and sisters who are begining their journey? Those who seek truth wind up in the same place do they not? They arrive in the truth or reality of God. Those that are inbetween are the ones that are confused. The ones who use religion for evil purposes are the ones who need to be condemned.

If you believe in a loving God you fall into "a lover of God" just like those who believe in the Bible, Koran, Or the Talmud. You just don't read the books.

And you're right God will never write a book. Would you write a book about yourself showing why people should love you? That's not love. You would just be there for everyone when they need help, especially those beginning their journey. You would treat everyone with the love and respect they deserve. Your actions would cause people to love you, right? No words required.

My "interpretation is really just one man's opinion" just like yours is. Bottom line, we got lots of work to do. So lets get busy eliminating ignorance and spreading peace since we all want it.
