    Why are all of the worst atrocities committed in the name of God? Chineses and the mandate of heaven. Whites and emminent domain. Whites (again) and the crusades. Whites (a third time) and the third Reich. It’s always God somehow telling them that murder is fine.

      Middle East and the spread of Islam.

      Zimbabwe and Ghurukundi (I made a typo here somewhere).

      Shaka and Mfecane.

      Rwanda and Tutsi.

      Just adding a few because you clearly need more thorough education if you can’t name one in Africa by Africans.

      Religion cause always conflicts, all are separatists by the own dogma ·We have the only thruth, all other are wrong. If they don’t want convert to our truth, they must die- The problem through the whole history, even between different christian Religions- the war of 30 years between catholic and protestants, 80 years between irish and british people… After the industrial revolution it has become worse, because the religion of money has also been added.

        Whites again with the Reconquista, whites again with the Inquisition, whites again with the Counter-Reformation, whites again with witch trials, whites again with manifest destiny, whites again with zionism

      The third Reich was not in the name of God. The Church had to subjugate under the Nazis. Same with Stalin and the communists. They hated religion and I am pretty sure they committed quite a few atrocities in the USSR, Mao in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia …

      God is a convenient reason for atrocities but far from the only/most prevalent one.
