Violence.  Beheading.  War.  Assault.  Crime and robberies.  Gangs.

What are we amounting to?  Why can't we set religion aside and live life as it should be lived?

Give me a moment in time where the world was all peaceful with no arugments or wars... yea, that's what I thought. Violence and war is as much a part of life as peace.

Religion isn't the only cause. I blame human nature, greed to be exact.

I'm referencing the world now.  I can only address the severity of it now, as I was not born at the beginning of time, thank you.

You may want to pick up a history book at your local Waldenbooks.

Greed was never a part of Human Nature, because when humanity first arose, it was never a matter of GIMME GIMME GIMME! but, civilized, clean, order, until the invention of money, and power and borders, then people thought it was a good idea to try and take whatever they could get their hands on.

Well once I came across the word "religion", I gave up caring and felt like writing this post. Give me a break. I should make a t-shirt saying "RELIGION THREADS" then have a circle and slash through it. Ahhhhhhhhh.

Meh, I only made this topic out of boredom, and to see what the reactions would consist of.  *Shrug* I know history decently well, since I have an A+ in the class.  I suppose, then, that I chose the wrong words to explain my introduction.

Topic edit:  What is your opinion of the world we live in?

I certainly didn't take a class at the age of two that taught that I wanted all my toys for myself. You don't learn greed, we are born with it.

I'm pretty sure the world is more peaceful than it ever was. Crime rates are at it's lowest, or at least in the U.S.

Which is why I said religion wasn't the only cause. Meaning, it's one of many, including the aforementioned human greed.
