Because one is killing for something tangible, something that can be used. Killing because I believe something different about God than someone else, doesn’t make sense. What does one get from it?

“Because one is killing for something tangible, something that can be used.”


IDEOLOGY is something tangible, something that can be used, unlike Religion? Power is something tangible, something that can be used, unlike Religion? Notice what I included in my previous list.

“Killing because I believe something different about God than someone else, doesn’t make sense. What does one get from it?”


Why do people kill for MONEY, or for nationality, or for race, or for anything at all?

But if we’re going to place all the world in you, does that mean that you find it reasonable to kill for money since its tangible, but not for religion? But to the man who does it, it is equally tangible so far as reasons to kill is concerned.

Just because you personally cannot imagine killing someone for religion, or for any of the reasons I have given, doesn’t change the fact that people do so.

At this point, can we blame Christianity for the person killing? Is Christianity really the “reason” why people kill? I think it’s easier to conclude that people kill because that’s what people are good at doing. Man, after all, is utterly depraved. They are all gone astray. They are together become unprofitable.
