the western world is a perfect reflection of the situations happening with those in power during the year 0 AD/BC.
only this time, god doesnt have an only son to send down and sacrifice himself for our stupidity, no, this time, we're being heald accountable for our ignorance byt neither forgiving us nor condemning us.
it's best to be loved, however, it's not worst to be hated, but to be ignored.
well we ignored them long enough, it's about time the spirits started ignoring us.
There definitely is a war, but not just between Christianity and Islam, but between almost all religions.
Palestine (Jews v. Muslims),
the Balkans (Orthodox Serbians v. Catholic Croatians; Orthodox Serbians v. Bosnian and Albanian Muslims),
Northern Ireland (Protestants v. Catholic),
Kashmir (muslims v. Hindus),
Sudan (Muslims v. Christians and Animists),
Nigeria (Muslims v. Christians), Ethiopia and Eritrea (Muslims v. Christians),
Sri Lanka (Sinhalese Buddhist v. Tamil Hindus),
Indonesia (Muslims v. Timorese Christians),
and the Caucasus (Orthodox Russian v. Chechen Muslim; Muslim Azerbaijanis v. Catholic and Orthodox Armenians)
In these places religion has been the explicit cause of literally millions of deaths in the last 10 years.
So much for religious tolerance and peace....
Now whay exactly is it that it's so taboo to point to someone, or a group of people and say that their religion is causing the deaths of many people? Is it not the truth?
You will reply and say that these people are not true believers, or that they misinterpret their own religion... When a given religion claims infallibility, and claims to be the word of the one true god, it is by the same token completely incompatible with other religions, there's no way around it.
this war isnt new, its been christianity versus every other religion since the beginning of religion!! hate only happens when weak people think and speak, the intelligent dont get over run with foolish motives!!
I went to a lecture on this recently given by Dr. David Goodstein on this subject,Quote:

The problem is nothing can replace oil. Biofuel is to inefficent, wind is unpredictable, we've used up almost all the hydro electric possible, solar is limited and expensive. Were down to basicly Hydrogen cells and fusion and they still need many to decades of time to be developed.
So if we do run out of oil very soon our economy will collapse. Not to mention that as we continue to drill and use oil we make a significant impact on our global enviorment. We'll be looking at a major climate change sooner then what would occur naturaly.
Well who is responsible for burning our churches here in Alabama?? Got all kind of ATF and FBI around here...10 churches (White majority) have been burned in the last 4 days...what is going on?

The Hammas in Palestine IS a terrorist group, like Al-Quaida is In Pakistand and Afghanistan. Frankly though, this war is 0% about religion and 100% about politics. The problem is that religion and politics are interwined in the middle east so they use religion to justify their political actions/misactions. Christianity really has nothing to do with this, this is simply a political conflict between the west and the near east.
I've just started reading a book about the history of the Crusades and I'm starting to understand the issue more. You have to realize that once a hardcore Islamist has made up his mind it is nearly impossible to change, if at all, since you see, to that person, he is acting under the will of God, and there is simply no other way.
You have some valid points there but there's still much to be understood, like the history of western occupation in the middle east a century ago.
This is an issue that in my opinion can only be settled either by fighting (yes, this might be necessary eventually) or if the Muslim moderates in the world, especially leaders of muslim nations step up and support the west. There is much that needs to be changes in the way the near east is treated by the west but this is about Islamic extremism and the targeting (note: targeting, not killing) of innocent civillians, which has obviously got to stop.
The passifier "Marijuana" is the missing elemental round the world.,,thus the violent nature of $atan is brought about in us...the luxurious way of life has to change to a more natural one.
And we shouldn't overlook that the human body is also a source of enegry!
We haven't really tapped that yet...physical production of electricity, using dynamoes, and fly wheels!
Marijuana can help us forget our differences!
And bring us to the truth of things!
Filter, Food, renewable fuel, and medicines!...the perfect solution is to bring all the energy sources together!
As for the fighting, the cursades never ended according to the commonwealth...they want control of the world, and they are oppressing other nations, until they crack!...Bent Monopolies, and slanted economics!
That is what the war on drugs is doing...taking away their national natural product (Marijuana), and burning it with out tapping into the fire!
Wasted....especially when there is a big market for it in the westernized world!...the westernized world is the biggest consumer of Marijuana!
But they won't let that cat out of the bag...
Hypocrates...reseaching and growing it under wraps...while the world outlaws and oppresses others!
Here is where tensions can be relieved...and a fare market place could stimulate a better union between the different religious groups!
Peace on Earth?
If we don't try, we will never know! SOmeone has to get off that high horse, and make a change for the betterment of Humankind!
Heres something, reminds me alot of this subject and give or take america.
Taken from the song by Anti-Flag, Anatomy of an enemy
How To Create An Enemy:
irst step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you.
Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you.
Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits
fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job,
they are heartless murderers who enjoy killing!
Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them
with all disseminated information.
Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information
this can be done through state run media.
Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information.
Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run.
Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different.
Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine.
ixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party.
Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between.
One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor.
Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions.
This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom."
This can also be achieved by the use of flags.
Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity.
It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god's will" or "god bless our nation."
Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers
have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.
Make it clear that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill.
Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instability
and then offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort the public's fears.
Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.
I consider myself a Gnostic so I understand the meaning of religion but there is the great majority of the ones who actually take their religion literally and this is where you get the wars....from conflict of beliefs. It is actually very stupid as most humans are not yet advanced enough to really understand this concept. Religion is just a story to help explain The Creator. No one religion is right or wrong as all have validity. It breaks Gods heart to see the children killing each other in Gods name. Terrible.
