Quote of the day
“We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.

you said " Religion has hurt others, even those of the same faith" and u give example of hizbullah. I dont know about blood shet between them eventhough if that happened not all in one group are correct and may be some incorrect things happened and each one will be subject to court in this life or after that and that doesnt mean all the group is incorrect or the relegion is bad becasue some people misinterpret it .
As adult , you can differentiate alone and we are personally alone responsible for our bad acts and that is common sense also. Our problems that all of us generalize things .
You know also USA formed after a blood shed between all states and then united and i dont mean iam with blood shed, it is totally wrong. Is that also common sense and they didnt use relegion for that unity.
i will answers other things later
