very interesting thought ya got there Steve. ever think about this? also has anyone also thought that religion in itself has breeded a lot of violence?
and if you don't think this is true, check out the crusades and how these crusaders scoured europe trying to convert nonchristians and killing those they deemed heretics for not converting. also at the fact that hardcore religious folk get very defensive if you some much as say anything that may somewhat go against their beleifs.
we as humans are doomed to sin the minute we are born. it is only human nature and nothing you can do will stop it.
religion is pretty shady if you ask me
also another random thought that I think about often, is the fact that the human species is nothing more than a plaque. what do viruses do? they replicate and infect and destroy cells. what do humans do? we reproduce and destroy everything around us. the human race is nothing more than viral strain to the world.
