Religious War.. What is it good for?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!

I find myself looking at various religions and people practicing these religions everyday. We seem to create a lot of dribble about nothing.

Now I would like you to step back and look at the essence of any real religion, does it not generally teach you how to be happy or at least co-exist with others, does it not have guidelines about avoiding war and violence. Yes all religions follow the same principle.

Have you ever been in a religious argument you wish you never got yourself into? Many of us have but they can get very deep and even nasty. Practitioners of any religion would believe theirs to be the only right religion but if one religion is older or another has more people does this make it right? No.

What is the right religion? Whatever is best for you! I am not religious I’m Buddhist (go figure) but I am totally accepting of all other religions, to the extent that I know a little about most of the major religions and accept them. What am I not accepting of? Some of the people practicing these religions.

Now many people try to force their views on others, many people follow a religion without really knowing much about others. Many make claims about other religions without real background knowledge. Just don't do it, people are entitled to their own free will and if they really wanted to know they would ask or go and research the religion themselves.

If you are a follower of one religion and someone is not your religion… no matter what yours says don’t force anything upon them. If somebody falls from your religion based on their own free will, let them, they are not your responsibility. If someone doesn’t believe in God, let them for God is not proven(get back to me on that one if you have any proof).

Keep your beliefs to yourself unless asked to express them in a certain way… but if you don’t agree with me in this belief go stick it(sorry for the bluntness).

Religion is not worth getting into wars about, even just arguments, learn from others religions, follow your own, and be accepting of people, not what people follow. Love everyone you meet, and avoid pointless religious discussions. Be open, look into the essence of things!

May you all find truth in these words (no pun intended).

With wishes for all your happiness.
