killing for god

[juldea]

Still reading Trinity. It's really appalling the killing and other atrocities done in the name of god.

Even if you can point and say, "That was them, they were mistaken, they totally did religion the wrong way," I have never heard of someone killing another human being "for atheism."[1]

I can't think of a better reason to be an atheist.

[1] Feel free to provide examples if you have them.

It was. :-)

Oh, yes, I believe most (if not all) religions have had people kill in the name of.

Now (moving away from the religions of Abraham, or The Big Three and dreging up a half remembered factoid) there was a sect in India that killed people... Ah, yes The Thugees were a cult of Kali (not our Kali, the goddess) that would kill people (usually strangulation, it looks like) as a worship to Kali.

*giggles* Our Kali. That's an amusing mental image (if you get past the whole killing bit.)
