I read "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" as a teenager and loved it, and I am intrigued by some of his art. And I kind of agree with the book concept, that a balance good and evil is valuable. But I like to define good and evil with my own criteria, not someone else (religions).
Yeah I know but it was an educational book I read all kinds of stuff it was pretty fun actually reading it after taking a heroic dose of magic mushrooms. When I started seeing pangea reforming from the void and plate tectonics going backwards I was like man I got to chill out a little bit or something.
I guess you have forgotten about: Lebanese civil war (Christians were just as violent as other religious sects), Irish Catholic versus Protestant civil war, Rwandan civil war (both sides were Christian), American Christian violence against native people's of America and against African Americans, American 20th century treatment of many different countries when we did not agree with their political values, Russian Orthodox Christian treatment of Ukrainians and other ethnic minorities both currently and throughout the 20th century, Serbian Orthodox Christian treatment of Bosnians and Armenians. Israeli genocidal treatment of Palestinians. There are a lot more examples but that is a few. You are being selective in your views; religions don't cause violence by themselves. Humans on religion cause violence. Muslims are no more violent than Christians or Jews or any other religion.
Not only was he being selective...he did not like it in his other thread before he was permenantly banned when I posted a link to a story a few years ago about a "Christian man" that stabbed/slit the throats/murdered his wife and small child. He said "that's not fair" when I responded to him when he was being selective about a tragic story of a Muslim stabbing/murdering people in Germany and the U.K. He's lucky to be banned because I had prepared more stories of "Christians" murdering other Christian members in their church or from their church that they socialized with outside of church and then dismembering their bodies. Simply, all religions have crazy people. wrbtrader
