Warfare, which can be directly linked to religious beliefs in many instances, has ended the lives of billions throughout mankind's reign on this earth. Religious purges, religious wars, religious inquisitions, jihads, etc. have all contributed to this list of the dead.

Kindly prove to me and others here that my statement is a falsehood. What is the basis of your argument against my statement?

The burden of proof is on you to show that your statement is correct, not for others to disprove it.

I can do so with one observation. The Black Death has killed more people than any number of religious wars have. WW1 was fought for political reasons and WW2 was a racial/political war and not one based on religion. We have had plenty of secular wars too you know.

You made the statement...you prove it to be true. Exactly how many people have died from disease and disasters in the history of all the world? And please provide documentation.

And BTW...there's no "S" at the end of Fugit. Time flie"s" but Tempus Fugit.
