i thought there was some species that when the young dies, the mother will just sit there and grieve until she dies as well. i forget tho, could totally be making that up.

monte,

that was "where the red fern grows" i think.

Well, that would be grief, not remorse.

If a dog kills another dog while playing with it, I don't think he sits around for the next week kicking himself for being too rough.

hitler only turned crazy anti-jew once the war started going downhill fast. i think the reason it started was more because of his massive ego and greed.

and as far as the afghan/iraqi wars, arent those caused just as much by usa's vested interests? i would say the ongoing war around jerusalem is definitely religion based though. right?

overall i would say greed/pride starts more wars than religion. religion is the driving force that the leaders might use to sway the masses to support them tho?

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully than when they do it from religious conviction."

gimme a quick recap of difference between grief and remorse.

also, you beat me to the post about Gods image. bastard.

monte, thats what emotions are. complex firing patterns of neurons combined with the release of various neurotransmitters and maybe some hormones. the fact that they can be explained scientifically makes them MORE real, not less.

Grief= feeling sad about a past event.

Remorse- feeling guilty about a past event.

dogs show hints of emotion.

WWII had nothing to do with the Jews Thrax. Yeah they got royally screwed......again. but that was a political war. As for the Hitler quote, Hitler was not a religious man at all this is a well documented historical fact.

Hitler was Catholic.
