Evil (Continued)
Sam says, in article “Evil”: “Everyone agrees that killing someone is evil, yet some religions believe killing everyone else is fine.”
I know, many other people have said this, in various ways. Sorry for picking on you, Sam.
Anyways, I only half agree with this statement…ah, forget it. I don’t agree at all. I’m sure most people are accusing Islamisism when saying something like this. If Islamicisim is evil, then what about our oh-so-pure Christianity?
Here’s another one, if you’re so stubborn that one won’t satisfy you.
And in case you’re saying it was different, and that the crusades were caused by misinterpretations by people, here’s Islam for you.
Christianity, Islam, Buddhism…all major world religions not only do not accept of violence, but actively voice against it. It’s when people start ignoring the clause stating that violence is evil that people start dying in the name of religion. The religions themselves are not evil…at least, not in my opinion. I think, however, that if someone is to call one of the world religions evil, he or she must call all of them evil. They have different beliefs, but their moral base, which is opposed to murder in all circumstances, is the same throughout. Just because some Islamic fanatics have trouble accepting that even people they believe to be evil should not be killed, does not mean the religion itself is at fault. This is something we must all realize before we start accusing religion of anything.
