Go away. I'd love to leave Bible believers (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim) to their beliefs. Trouble is, their beliefs are dragging the world into war (yet again).

Seems your handle has one too many words in it, Commie Basher.

"I'd love to leave Bible believers (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim) to their beliefs. Trouble is, their beliefs are dragging the world into war (yet again)."Which is going to affect you how? By making you watch it? (We know you won't be a participant due to that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy of the DoD.")

Show us where any of the beliefs which are challenged by this silly article have anything to do with this.
I suppose if American Christians and Jews didn't believe in King David or any of the other Bible stories, they would sit back and allow terrorists to murder them by the thousands and chant "no war", "peace". How ridiculous.

It is true that "beliefs" lead to wars. And any belief has a religious element and requires a certain leap of faith. But everyone believes something even if they believe in nothing. And even believing in nothing will lead to wars. It isn't because of a mythical God, it is simply a part of human nature to believe in something and to have conflicts and struggle against other people. Communism is a perfect example: they don't believe God exists and do not believe in competition and possessions. For communists and the watered down Progressive party politics and goverment are the religion, but they can never acheive their utopian ideal without massive bloodshed. And even then they can't acheive utopia because without competition and rewards for work society becomes bleak, depressed and supressed. And take a look at HItler. Some people mistake him for being part of the Christian world, but he was very fascinated with the militant aspects of Islam, was a vegitarian, and was fascinated with pagan, primative symbols. He had more in common with the New Age movement than with Christianity. He turned a political idea into a fanatical religion and he was very hostile towards both Jews and Christians.
