So, if Jesus is capable of performing miracles then why the fuck isn’t he over in the Middle East fixing things? Or is it because organized religion is just a bunch of bullshit created to grift the hell out of people?

@Randon7981 @TeriGoodson Exactly

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 @TeriGoodson It is over LAND! Most / all wars are over Land.

@crw555 @LakotaMan1 @TeriGoodson But if they didn't have different religions, how would they separate themselves with the land?

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 People would find other reasons to hate each other and start wars--politics, ethnic/racial heritage, rich vs. poor, or what soccer team they root for. I went to a 99.9% white high school. Those kids found plenty of ways to self-segregate and hate on each other.

@JenMichigander @LakotaMan1 Yeah maybe but nine times out of 10 it sure seems like the problem

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 That's not 100% true, but it is 89.999999% true.

@shidferbrains @LakotaMan1 Yeah it was an over generalization but still pretty correct

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 Be specific, which religions

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 Right again!

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 It still is. People use religion as an excuse to make war. Look at what’s happening in the Ukraine? The genocides in Africa.

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 Given the long interconnection of religions and cultures, the wars between nations that share the same religions, this isn't a good bet.

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 I think the war still happens, but the unnecessary brutality doesn’t.

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 This would still be happening without religion, they would just have to find a different reason to justify it.

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 More like corrupt governments who manipulate people but it’s easy to miss this fact.

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 Religion is just 1 excuse of many. People will always find a reason, be it natural resources, territorial gains, etc.

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 Absolutely correct.

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 Exactly

@Randon7981 @LakotaMan1 This war is happening because White Europeans took land that wasn't theirs and gave it to other Europeans, exactly the same way they did to Native People in the Americas, Africa and Australia

@xSEEKx83 @LakotaMan1 I guess you never met a Republican in America, huh?
