Just a thought. I mean, Christian people want to burn Muslims to death, Muslims want to burn Jews to death, Jews want to burn Muslims to death. Buddists want to burn themselves to death....

Don't all your holy writs have a "Don't kill people" clause?

I think you're generalizing a whole lot. Not every single member of the religions you listed harbors desire to kill the other groups you listed. The few that do are actually the exception rather than the rule, and those who actually act upon it are a double exception.

But on that same note, to not discount your thought completely, I am agnostic as well and have never felt the need to exterminate anyone. Correlation? Who knows.

Its a light hearted thread. I can't be serious all day. Thus the "Bonze" reference in the original post. However, I do see a strong correlation between religions and the need to kill people.

The crazy, supposedly Christian supremacists want to "burn Muslims to death." The extremist Muslims who hate Israel and everything it is associated with want to burn Jews to death.

Even so, the commandment says "Thou shalt not kill." You can want to kill somebody to the furthest extent that is not harming them as long as you don't take said life.

Uh, most Christians (Besides those at Westboro Baptist Church) don't want to kill muslims. I also don't know of many jews who want to kill muslims. Hell, my father is jewish and remarried to a muslim. Most muslims don't want to kill everyone either. Just the Islamofascists and Extremists.

As others have said, it's people that kill people. To which I would add - religion just gives them reason to.

Having said that, I'm not religious, nor am I atheist, nor am I agnostic (<*sigh*> who wants to bet that I'm going to have to explain that once again?) and I've never really felt any desire to kill any single individual, let alone any single group of people.

Right. But Religion tells people to kill. Your distinction is moot, really.

Christianity:
"Deuteronomy 13:6-11: If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, `Let us go and serve other gods,' which neither you nor your fathers have known, some of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him; but you shall kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and never again do any such wickedness as this among you."

I'd do some searching on Islam, but I'm afraid the DHS would ban me from flying. Do your own searching.

This is what you came up with for Christianity? That's as bad as the OP saying that Christians want to burn Muslims. Good work guys, you get an A+ for research and understanding. Honestly bf2s debate and serious talk, is more like bf2s slummy opinions and heresay.
