Debate:What is the relationship between religion and the human tendency to kill each other? (view source)
Revision as of 16:36, April 11, 2008
, 16:36, April 11, 2008setting up the question in a balanced way
Some people who oppose religion say that the human tendency to kill each other is fueled by religion, or even that we would never have murderous feelings or intentions if we got rid of religion. These critics blame religion for murder.
Other people feel that religion tempers or reduces the tendency of people to kill each other ("Thou shalt not do no murder".)
==No Religion?==

This sounds like John Lennons Imagine song. For those who don't know what the definition of religion is, you'd better look it up. What the question really should be asking is that if people didn't believe in anything would they have reason to kill each other. Maybe if they were indoctrinated to the point where they weren't allowed to take a stance on anything. Like if people ever really needed a reason. Don't worry, if there wasn't any religion I'm one hundred percent sure people would come up with a reason to kill, or go to war. Oh, and for you Humanist out there, that's right, Humanism is a religion too.--[[User:Roopilots6|Roopilots6]] 18:37, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
