Faith of our fodder

For many years, I was of the opinion that religions—Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindi, traditional, etc. and their various and sundry sects—were responsible for a great deal of the bloodshed throughout humankind's history. A few years ago, I realized that was not the case.

God doesn't kill people—people kill people.

People have simply developed the belief systems (some call them faiths) that provide the rationalization for the slaughter of their fellow human beings and the appropriation of their land and goods.

Let's kill those godless heathens!

See ya' in church (temple, mosque, synagogue, whatever)!
