i just found the bible on some list in a german wiki artlicle http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_verbrannten_B%C3%BCcher_1933

if you search this page for "bibel" you'll find it.

still all that nazi-crap hitler was "believing" could be classified as a religion itself.

Then why is there a term 'holy war'?

Also see Palestine vs Israel for a conflict with a religious foundation.

ever heard of the crusades?

lol there are definitely wars founded on religion guys.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_war
there's a list there.

i don't ever make statements that i believe i am doing the lord's work.

not a small detail.

Yeah, maybe dete didnt really mean 'religion doesnt start conflict" or 'the wars in the middle east have nothing to do with religion'

uhh..

shia vs sunni violence is most definitely religion based.

happy, you're the one who stated that Hitler is Catholic. He's only as Catholic as you are. I didn't equate you to Hitler. The God that Hitler claimed he was doing works by is not the Catholic God (or Muslim or Jewish God, they're all the same).

ya, we are arguing over how the initial statement was phrased. any way you look at it, religion is to blame in a major way.

either it causes the conflict.
or it is used to escalate the conflict.

but i still say greed/pride cause and escalate conflicts a lot. like the germans always telling themselves, like hell will we ever lose to those french fags again. fuckin napoleon just got lucky. so, ya, religion can play a major role (and has in the past). but so can other things like nationalism (like hell will the ussr beat us, we won the 1980 hockey game. pussies.)
