Debate: True or false. Religion never caused any wars, it was only people
Side: True

I have defeated you. You should convert right now if you want to retain your place as a logical human being.My religion says "do not kill", your religion says "do not kill". Ergo, we declare war on each other because we follow different religions?I don't have a religion, ergo I have no magical being to fight for. But people seem to take the responsibility upon themselves to fight for their religion and it has clearly happened too much.I merely stated that I'm not in the position to declare whether Jesus is God or not.Seriously? I just gave you all the proof you would need.God is a deity, Hitler wasn't. Ergo, God is different from Hitler.Are you serious? So that somehow magically justifies his genocide on innocent children men and women. I suggest you think about this a bit more, and just how wrong you are. You do understand that God senselessly murdered people- even though he is supposed to be a moral being. Tap into your logical side here, and ask yourself whether your God out of all the religions in the world, would do such a thing; would commit evil genocide. If you seem to hate Hitler for his genocide, why aren't you taking any issues with God and his contradictory evil actions. I've given you some of the verses out of the bible, have you read them? The first question I asked before I became Atheist was "Is this really what God would of done?"Because seriously, no pure being would do such a thing.Btw I didn't mean God was Hitler in a literal sense. I just said he was as insane, evil and genocidal as Hitler is.Magic, is doing things that cannot be explained. Supernatural powers granted by God is not a form of 'magic'. Likewise, scientists using science to do things the common man cannot explain is also not a form of 'magic'.Anyway, I stated that Jesus is as real as Julius Ceasar or any other famous Roman, we only know about them and their existents from records and documents that have lasted throughout history.Avoiding my point again. Jesus is magical. Ceaser is not. Any sources? Or actual evidence?I thought you would of understood my references to Rushdie and his 'Satanic Verses' book that almost got him killed by the muslims? And also the recent death of the US Ambassador by a terrorist.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Verses_controversy http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2213323/Two-arrested-Turkey-death-U-S-ambassador-Christopher-Stevens-Libya-embassy-attack.html http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_21711091/media-offer-shallow-coverage-muslim-rage-riots-over As I said, I am not a muslim. I cannot speak for Islam. You can't just make me accountable for all their faults just because I'm religious.My point still stands, concerning this debate.And I suggest you research more into Islam.Sarcasm...Useless sarcasm. I've already disputed you though on that matter; the religious conflict between Jews and Muslims were caused by their conflict of religious beliefs.Yes, they would have just found another reason to get people to invade the Middle East. Probably the 'there's treasure there lets plunder it' way of thinking that most people actually joined the Crusades for.Again, are you serious? They believed they were doing the work of the Lord, to kill all those who defied their beliefs, and perhaps be rewarded in return. If you remove their ideologies, all they would have is no reason to fight anyone; no drive.Once again I cannot speak for Islam. Unless you're one of those who believes muslims seek to kill us all, I suggest you stick to Christianity, as I'm not going to argue for a religion I don't believe in.And once again, we are debating about it, so get used to it.Hence, he wasn't a Christian."I already told you that in his speeches and writings, he believed he was doing the work of God. So even if he wasn't christian, he had religious means behind his genocide.One second you're saying Hitler slaughtered the Jews because he thought it was doing God's work, then when I argue he did it for what he believed where scientific causes, you suddenly claim he was a psychopath?He was a psychopath to act on his want for ethnic cleansing.But he also justified his actions by claiming he was doing the work of God. How are apes "Godless animals"? Since they were created by God?You believe that, since they didn't know God, or the bible. As much as you would call me a Godless human.That's just taking it completely out of context. In WWII Nazi-Germany, the government were the ones killing people, who would the Jews have called out for help for?And most likely if they did fight back, they would end up killing you.My points still stand; the fear of consequence, the human emotion of empathy. All that stuff still applies.Exactly, while we may take care of our own family, when resources become scarce humans follow the natural instinct of eliminating other humans to gain more resources.Ergo we are similar to apes.Once again, please provide evidence for your claim. How could you possibly know that before the existence of the Bible all humanity worked togethor in harmony?The Aztecs, the Egyptians, Polynesia, all successful civilizations. Do I really need to go further? I expect you to already have some kind of knowledge in this matter.Or is everything you know trapped inside of this Christian world of yours?
