On the other hand there are religious wars dressed up as something else.
Like the Iraq invasion, which at least in part was to ensure Israel's dominance of the ME.
Same for the pressure on Iran.

Well it's one of the 2 taboo topics so no one wins when talking about them.

On a side note, Sergeriver: pantera sucks in concert man, they show up drunk to all their shows & then play like shit, play half their set & then leave or pass out. Used to like them when I just listened to the cd's, but they are assholes in real life.

Back on topic : What else starts wars other than one group thugs or mystics trying to impose their power on another, how they go about it be it guns or religion is of little importance.

I think you're missing Serge's point; for the idiot with the suicide vest it might all be about religion but for the people in charge of the 'religious' movement their ideals and goals are most likely far more earthly and cynical.

I've been to two Pantera's concerts and while you are right, they were all drunk, Anselmo may be an asshole, but you dude can't talk bad about Dimebag.  Rip.

Islam isn't a real religion, it is a mental disorder that causes people to explode.
Yeah, it's psychosomatic.  And then they go boom.


Christianity, on the other hand, is perfectly rational and believable.

Plus it give us a sense we have god on our side who gives us divine strength to smite our foes.
Or is that Islam, oh I can't remember.

I think that's the Grail Movement cult you're thinking of.

Because there's nobody ever leading religion for selfish reasons.
