ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire If you wanted to be a right smart ass the biggest terrorist in the world is God - he wiped humanity, as they got a bit wicked, from the face of the planet save two, apparently. Ands thats before we get to the 8, or was it 10 plagues of Egypt. First born that one seems to have stuck in my mind. I cant stand religion, I can tolerate it, or some, whatever that means. I can agree with you that the Christian God in the old testament, thanks to Noah Ark incident is one hell of a terrorist. That's why I don't support Christianity. But the only living grace is I believe in Christianity, punishment is to be left to God. Whereas in Islam, they teach you to take punishment upon your own hands as mandated by Allah. That's what causes alot of problems for the future for that religion. Christianity has the chance to become less violent because people could use the bible to explain that, they aren't suppose to take matters into their own hands and punish non-Christians on God's behalf. Islam though, has the chance of turning more and more violent, because ISIS is using the Quran to explain why people need to take things into their own hands and rise up and take action world wide and fight in the name of Islam. And the fact that ISIS is motivating teenagers with cushy and comfortable lives around the world to give up their comfort and families to join their fight, is something that is I think, phenomenon. The west needs to stop being in denial that terrorists are created by people born in poverty and desperation only. That's not the true from my part of the world that is joining ISIS. They are pampered children in good lives, being attracted to become a terrorist as a service to their God. And just like some rich kid like Buddha could be persuaded to give up his cushy life to basically live a life of below poverty line, he was sold on some religious concepts that doing that will achieve nirvana and he did reach there. Religion is very powerful to motivate rich people to do stupid things.
