I'd not say "nearly every religion" I'd say every religion, there's no need to qualify it, because people are involved and people arent perfect, perfect religions or ideas, if there are such things arent going to fix that. And more often these things are channels than fixes anyway.
Those are not simply weak arguments they're just plain wrong, its sort of what I've been trying to say about being a channel for other things, people who oppress or persecute do for deeper reasons than anything in religion or ideology. Considering religion the root of all evil is simple, I'm sure if evil could be as easily identified and dealt with as all that it'd have disappeared long ago. Its as stupid as any believer who'd think that non-belief is the root of all evil. What's meant by either and the actions which result is another question, I dont accept what you said about Christians persecuting a particular population there BTW, I think the issues surrounding that are much deeper and broader than religion but I dont think you're ready for that. The world isnt ready.
Well I can't think of, say, violent persecution occurring at the hands of Jainists. I qualify things because I don't know everything, and even very accurate generalizations are still generalizations.
And I'm not justifying the arguments or atheists or theists in that regard. But the logic and correctness of their beliefs doesn't matter. If they believe it, no matter how dumb it seems, and that belief motivates them, then in their own minds they are doing the right thing. That was my point.
People are just dumb sometimes, and you can't force them to change. A lot of very stupid people have a lot of very good intentions and very strong convictions and then they fight for a very long time and life sucks very much until you are very dead. #yolo
