Historically speaking God starts alot of wars

At school we have all learned about the four "famous" Crusades, beginning in 1095.  Depending on the historian, there have been up to 9 Crusades up through Edward the I in 1272. But, it really depends on the definition of what a Crusade is.  When is a mountain a mountain and not a hill?  I feel the Crusades are still happening.  Muslims are mad that we support Israel with war equipment.  Palestinians have no place to go.  Lebanon is constantly being terrorized.  Jews have no "homeplace" to call, well, home.  Today's terrorism against America is directly a result of the issues of the Middle East, starting back in the 11th century.

How many millions of people over the centuries have died as a result of religion--fighting for "their" God or Allah or whatever?   For religion to cause such turmoil, you'd think the 'higher power' would appreciate the allegiance and rectify the situation, thus reducing bloodshed of him or it, if love is the ultimate goal.

It's like showing partiality in political views, everyone has their opinion. Who is right?  Depends on your goal, whether based on selfishness or the continuation of the future.  Knowing there are so many views of religions, tolerance must be priority.  We have found that a millenia of wars is equivalent to spinning tires in the mud--getting nowhere.

Ancient history was one of my favorite classes in college, very insightful as to the foundation of religions. And the basis of God's will as a starting point for war, was always interesting whether God wanted someone to have another ruler's wealth, or God wanted another religious sect's members to pray a different way, I always thought the christianization of western europe was the most interesting, to be honest. convert em once, get em paying taxes, when that falls apart, convert em again.

every tree has its nut, this one just had influence. him being dead isn't going to change much, but it lets anyone that wants to mess around know that if you screw with us, it may take 10 years, but one night, 10 guys are gonna sneak into your house and shoot you in the head.

When is a mountain a mountain and not a hill?

When you have to re-jet the carbs and put a longer track on your snowmobile it's a mountain

it lets anyone that wants to mess around know that if you screw with us, it may take 10 years, but one night, 10 guys are gonna sneak into your house and shoot you in the head.

K back to killing Bin Laden

[Irish_Alley]

See this is why i am atheist lol sometimes. For one who’s God is right??? How many cardinals have killed people for something they should/might just have jail time??? All this for what a guy that depends on who you talk to how/what he does or did. take this out of the bible God created mans out of his form, why did he create dinosaurs, and you can’t tell me late at night when you look up at the stars that you can’t think of how many more life baring planets there is. there was a study done that people would wear one of those brain wave helmets and were told that’s what they were studding then the scientist would send some signal to i believe it was the temple area and the people would see figures with no faces all around them. They concluded with more test that the human brain has to believe in something like a God so it won’t go crazy thinking im only here for how many days. Until some guy brings another holly war on us. But let’s get back to bin laden

[Grim 82]

why did he create dinosaurs

Ummm, because dinosaurs are awesome

[Lt.Del]

why did he create dinosaurs

That's easy.
So 65 million years after the KT boundary, we could make the movie Jurassic Park.

Very, very well put.  Unfortunately we have fewer and fewer good examples of tolerant behavior these days.  Between the talking heads and politicians, it's a constant barrage of accusations and personal attacks.  My elders didn't act like that, and I'm pretty sure theirs didn't either, yet somehow, it has become acceptable to blast people and question their intentions and motivations.  If we could get better at finding common ground, and better at looking past our differences, I think we'd find we all have more in common than we think.

I'm very pleased that none of our men got injured.. I hope he knew what was coming, like when the towers got hit people jumping out the windows to death..

So the compound was in Abbottabad, which isn't far from Islamabad.  the copters took off from Jalalalalabad.  Bin Laden thought when he heard the Seals was, "America is bad"

Since the Seals are stationed in Norfolk, Va, there is a referendum in the city council to rename Norfolk to Obamabad.
