Questions: #35: Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?
Leaving aside my own personal religious convictions, of lack thereof --- I would argue that the majority of "religious" wars start out as wars about territory and resources. I'm not prepared to write an academic paper about this right now, but if you give me a religious war, I can almost guarantee a link.

Northen Ireland is about freedom from the UK. Palestine is about land that was claimed by someone else. Pakistan is about territory.
Doing unspeakable things in the name of God is cowardly. It's inhumane. And it's a fallacy.
War is caused by people who want what doesn't belong to them. Or, by people who are sick of losing what was theirs first. I don't believe any God out there has anything to do with it.
