This part one of my thoughts of what religion is doing the destroy humanity.
If religion is the the blueprint of peace, why then do we have so many wars and so much hatred in the name of religion. Just look at the different factions within the Christian faith. You have Methodists, Evangelicals, Protestants, Greek/Russian Orthodox, and the biggest cause of trouble within the Christian community, the Catholic Church. The atrocities committed by the Catholic Church in the name of GOD, speaks volumes for their thirst for blood. Over the centuries, the Catholic Church, in order to keep its supremacy killed many fellow Christian if they did not convert to Catholicism. The Catholic church was the main reason the great walls of Constantinople crumbled and gave an opening for the Ottoman Empire to conquer the great city and the gave to the fall of the Byzantine Empire. The Catholic church, ruled by a Pope, that gave the orders to ransack the city and steal as much artifacts as possible, and all in the name of GOD.
As a Greek Orthodox Christian myself, I grew up being told never to marry outside of my faith. But isn't my faith Christianity? So why would I be going outside my faith?
If Jesus came back today, and saw how his vision of Christianity got hijacked, what do you think he would say?
