What are your thoughts on religious cruelty

[nomad]

If you read the history, you will find almost all religions have persecuted people of other religions or people who do not follow a certain religion. Religion incited violence is still common. What are your thoughts?

If you are talking of forced converfsion that is unforgveable. It could also be punishing those who have gone against a religion and that again is wrong .

The most important thing is not about the religions. Nowadays people don't follow the scriptures on the holy books.

I don't know why some sects do this and I begin to wonder if we are fighting for our Gods which don't look. good.

It can be excused for the ancient times because people were not really enlightened then. No excuses for it happening now.

First thing, it is a crime to do this. I had watched some documentaries about it. I find it inhumane to kill someone because of not following their doctrines. Despite being religious, they still committed a sin.

I am not only talking about forced conversion, I am also speaking about violence incited by religion. If you look at the news, you will understand what I mean.

I think this is usually due to poor understanding. Most of these religious people tend to misinterpret these teachings carrying out violence thinking they are doing the right thing.

It is a sad thing that it comes to this kind of situation. I watched a video on YouTube. A Muslim woman was killed by the merchants because she told them not to sell Quorans on the street.

Indeed it is sad, while most of them might not be this violent yet, we have so many people who do not even understand the religion they are in yet they carry it like it is no man's business.

For me l see to be a very bad thing for the world to keep entertaining.

I also feel your sentiment about it. In my view, it should not be done in the first place. It is inevitable that this kind of incident will be a source of entertainment.

It is a terrible thing when we become increasingly intolerant if one another simply because we can't tolerate the religious affiliation of each other.
