Religion is not your problem

This is not a war on religion. If people need to believe in a God to feel comforted and taken care of or make sense of life, it is their right and prerogative. It is not a war on someone else s religion either. It is not a war on people who have been born somewhere else. It is not about migrants, your jobs, your beliefs. It is not about your fears, it should not be about your fear, but about your compassion and understanding. If a person is a religious fanatic, it is not his fanaticism that makes him kill but his blatant disregard for human life. It is his need to revenge something someone did before, to retaliate for something that his father did before, to retaliate for something else, and it NEVER fucking ends. WE generate hate, like a battery, we create and shape enemies that will kill our children as we kill theirs. We grow wedges and further gaps with other people, based on cultural differences. Oh its religion, oh its their lack of education, oh its because they are not human. But the fact they die for their beliefs shows they are able to feel so much, they actually are willing to die for that. I dont get it, it scares me. I would not do it. I would not kill for an ideology, for a God, and I would not kill other people. But the fact I do not understand makes me realize that I am missing something here. If we want to stop these things, we need to understand. To see if we have responsibility. Stop bombing. Stop hating. Stop. All of you.
