Fairyflexy: no religion is barbaric. It is d wicked ones among those who practice d@ give their religion a bad name. When a wicked christian kills, which is against d teachins of d holy Bible, he & his action shud be condemned. Not his religion. If a hindi or muslim kills, he & his action shud b condemned. Not his religion. But if any1 of them cites his religion as supportin such killings or whr 'suicide bombers r eulogized as ''heros'' by their religion. Then d@ word ''barbaric'' comes to mind. As 4 retaliation ''he who hs not sinned let him cast d 1st stone'' I'm more concerned abt acting out of pure love. I'm not a god to judge any1/religion. I av a muslim neighbour & we've never for once quarreled. No matter ones religion, we r all first ''humans'' b4 bein a muslim,hindi or wotever. I believ no religion is barbaric; but some religious pple are
The foundation of some religions happen to be blood shedding, barbaric battles. Perhaps if you looked into the history of each and every religion, you will see for yourself. As I've mentioned before, I've only read of ONE "prophet" who killed people while another "prophet" sacrificed himself for the sake of mankind(according to his followers).
If one can't practice what he preaches(preaching peace and then killing people for not accepting his religion), is he worthy of being called a prophet? Unless of course he was practicing what was preached in his holy book, which people now deny saying we've not understood what it means!
So now tell me you still believe ALL religions are not barbaric.
