- White kid killed in racially motivated murder.
- 1 in 19 workers in Britain comes from outside the UK.
- Doctor speaks out about how muslim women should take their headwear off to fit in with society
- Police defend decision to allow a muslim woman not to guard the Israeli embassy.
- Underground religious radicals in universities.
Seriously, can they not find a single news headline that isn't based on racial fear, paranoia or hate? It's like the Daily Mail took over Radio 4.

More like a born-yesterday one... :D
His true motives, I believe, are greed and power.
So perhaps it's really politics that is the main cause of war, using religion as a tool?

Aye well I don't have a problem with people believing in the afterlife ... I'm still undecided myself ... it's when they strap bombs to themselves in order to get there quicker that things get out of hand.
You're right though, religion is just one of many excuses for war, but it's probably the leading one.
However, he was an intelligent man and his interpretation of the Bible was for self-confessed power of propaganda.
In fact, you are correct in the respect that the Christian teaching in Germany at the time had a great deal to do with the Anti-Jewish feeling, but this is more to do with the teachings of the priests than the religion itself.
The point I'm making is that Religion is just an 'excuse' that could be replaced with any number of other 'excuses' for war or violence (eg Politics). Don't you think that most normal Christian hold their heads in their hands when George Bush speaks about his Christian attitudes (which is actually not too dis-similar to the attitudes of Christian Germany pre-WWII).
And the comments about the afterlife are just personal opinion. I respect your opinion that nothing happens after death, but as both sides of this arguement have no way of physically proving or disproving the theory, it remains a matter of belief, and no religion is still a belief in it's own right.
