      > 30 year war Hmm yes that's a time the catholics created that most don't agree with. It's widely considered a time when evil ruled the religions. And biblically there will be religions that do not follow what is preached. Which is what I said. Nowhere in Catholicism or Christianity does it preach hate or war. Now how people interpret things are up to them. > Ahlam Tamimi bombing This would be that one religion preaching that if people don't convert, kill them. > wars of suppression against Bön I have not read the Bonop canon, so can't speak for this. This could either be a group not listening to their faith, or yet another preaching hate.

  And as I mentioned to you earlier: non-religious have been even (and is) even worse. Just because you aren't evil doesn't mean the rest of us will happily accept that you can argue from a position where everything bad a religious person said or did is held against us while simultaneously nothing bad that non-religious people did can be held against you. Choose one option. I know this is hard but this isn't young atheists debate club. We are real humans and some of us have experienced too much good to just let you or others try to tear it apart.
