I don't think you realize I'm not just talking about terrorism, I'm talking about wars, terrorism, corruption, death and destruction of countless lives. I'm not even talking about today's extremist really, I'm talking about basic concepts of most religions since they were ever invented. Religion is man-made, whether people are accepting to that of not it's undeniable and even though I think God is man-made, I'm just talking about religion. They have been created so people can control others, set their own rules, that's why most religions are the same...as in the basics were borrowed from ones before it, tweaked a bit and passed around, don't you find it a little funny that you can find the biography of jesus passed around many centuries before he was actually here? Or stories like the great flood too? There all too similar, if people weren't so closed minded and in denial, they would see that too and question.

While most religions claim to "bring everyone together" and all that jazz, it promotes division and has always done that, which has caused all of this destruction for thousands of years. You can't claim unity, while claiming that everyone else who doesn't follow it is wrong and evil(along those lines) and expect that not to cause problems.
