Re: Shooting at Fort Hood, TX
It is a sad irony on humanity that religions which are supposedly founded on peace are constantly used for propaganda for death and destruction. The cycle of hate continues back and forth as it always has in our history from the dawn of civilization.
Does religion cause violence, or does man use religion as an excuse for violence?
I don't know the answer. Whenever something like this happens I find myself angered by the religious affiliation of the perpetrators. However, I then realize that it is the very anger that I feel towards them that they felt at some point towards a country or religion that has fueled their actions.
From the Crusades to WWII to the Gulf War and Afghanistan; we just keep on killing each other.
