What I mean is couldn't Christianity be a disguised tool of the devil given the amount of deaths and killing that has resulted from it over the history of time? From the time before Christ, through to The Crusades, and through to the modern persecution of individuals because they don't adhere to the "moral" code of its religious teaching? If the devil's aim was to create a world based on hating each other wouldn't religion (including Christianity) be a great tool?
Simply by using this thread as an example you are proving that you are not a loving and tolerant person. You are an example (by using your words right here) of why I abhor organised religion (as opposed to personal religious belief), and why I believe it is the most evil and divisive creation ever conceived by man.

You have admitted yourself that you dont really believe the arguement you are making. All the good religions in the world dont say that we should conquer nonbelievers and kill them.. Which is why I leave Islam out of this catagory. Any serious student of history will find that the crusades were a defensive manuever not an offensive. The eastern christian empire was under threat from collapse by Jihad. You can believe what you like...
I believe there are cosmic forces at work with each major war...some forces that drive men mad. Why is Putin acting so irrationally? Why so suddenly so many men blow themselves up all around the world...? This is not the nature of man. We are rational..when we kill we kill for rational reasons, its the irrational we have to be afraid of... those whose logic and moral code is not clearly defined...
I believe there is a power that makes men go to nonsensicle wars, bloodshed that defies all logic.. and this is satan. Who creates religions, ideologies, influences powers that be to bring the wrong men into power...They have always said since long before.. that the devil had a silver tongue...Like adolf in his masterfull speeches that drove men into a frenzy...like many radical clerics inspiring legions to massmurder....
Consider this a warning, and not a proof of my hate. I have never claimed to be perfect,
....If you dont want to accept it.. you wont but if you do.. then you should pray for nations, leaders and soldiers to make the right decisions and avoid as much casualties as possible in the coming war.
