We are fighting Muslim’s because of differences in religious FAITH, Both sides are praying to the same God. Both sides worshiped the same God in OUR Civil War. Rediculous!

Faith is what keeps otherwise honest people from looking for the truth.
With all the great advances in science and technology; I think it is a perfect time for the religiously faithful to question their faith. This certainly applies to all religious faiths; Christian, Islam, Judaism, and all who believe in a supernatural controlling God.

With all the DNA evidence that has been repeatedly duplicated within various scientific specialties; the arguments against evolution should be questioned by people honestly looking for the truth.

There is now so much repeatable evidence that the universe, and all matter, were created in a big bang; that here again, the religious faithful must question their faith.

What a shame that we are still killing one another over differences in religious Dogma.

This is one big world and we are all related. Let’s learn to live together.
It seems to me, that as we evolved and our brains and thinking ability
improved, we started to ask: “Where did we, and those like us, come from.”
The images on the walls of he caves in Europe and the written record left
by the Egyptians and other Middle East civilizations certainly ask that
question. Over several thousand years the Egyptians revered several
different Gods. The Greeks and the Romans worshipped several different
Gods. Only in the last 50 years or so did we learn that the Aztecs,
Mayans, Native Americans, and other civilizations in this hemisphere
worshipped various Gods. It wasn’t until the Israelis discovered their
own personal monotheistic God, that most people exposed to those ideas
accepted that theology. Why didn’t this God influence the earlier
civilizations?

Since the God of Israel told the Israeli priests that they were His chosen
people, non Jews had to find some way to be included and the result was
Jesus and Christianity. The Torah and the Bibles are now the two
guidelines for the growing idea of a monotheistic God. Mohammad was from
another ethnic group and he had his vision and the results were the Koran.
Muslims and the Islamic religion grew at an extremely rapid pace. The
resulting differences in these theologies came to a head when the Pope
decided that Islam was a false religion and it had to be stopped. That
battle is still going on. When the King and Queen of Spain decided to
spread Christianity around the world, Christopher Columbus gave them the
golden opportunity. The result in the Western hemisphere was the near
elimination of the great civilizations in this part of the world. Joseph
Smith then discovered the golden plates and The Church of Jesus Christ and
The Latter Day Saints resulted. This loving God neglected all the
previous theologies.

Many, if not most, of the differences in attitudes and values among the
people of the world, are the result of differences in religious dogma.

Modern science has given us a rare opportunity to realize that we are all
closely related and our differences in attitudes and values should be
resolved peaceably through negotiations. The big disagreement regarding
religion, life styles; homosexuality, abortion, etc., could be individual
choices and not dictated by those who differ.

When we accept the fact that there is no supernatural Deity, and we humans
are going to have to rely on one another, there may be peace in this world.
