That's not what I meant. I meant that people starting wars are never really religious - no religion promotes war, hatred, violence. None.


There's a story about man driving a car with his family, being stopped by some militant muslims, pointing guns at them, asking him to say a quote from Kuran in order to proove he's a Muslim. He quotes the bible. They let him go. When his wife asked how was that possible, was he crazy, he replies: "they aren't real Muslims, if they knew Kuran, they wouldn't be doing this".

Just another fairytale methinks!

But the point is that no religion teaches hatred and war. That's a fact. The problem is when someone reads "don't kill", then goes to army and says that it's OK to kill for a good cause, in spite of the direct order from God. 

BTW today if you went into a mountain and came back with another 10 commandments, saying you talked to God, they'd put you in a mental hospital. But when someone brings a book written several thousand years ago stating the same claim, some people take it for granted.
