Why Do We Pander To Rubbish Like This?

You'd like to think, in 2019, that people had grown-up and realised what total rubbish religion is.
In 2013 an American had a torn placenta and prayed to Cardinal John Henry Newman to stop the bleeding - and lo and behold, the bleeding stopped.
That's what people in the real world with a grasp of reality call a coincidence.
I wish religionists would sometimes consider what they think objectively. If they did you'd hope they'd have an epiphany and realise they're being ridiculous.
I genuinely believe that people who believe in god and heaven and so on have a form of mental illness. If I swore blind in the existence of leprachauns, people would quite rightly question my sanity....and yet even though there's as much proof in the existence of god (i.e, NONE), were meant to take their nuttery seriously and respect it.
Madness.

In several conflicts including the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the Syrian civil war, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, religious elements are overtly present. However Khandro, I did not mention war, I said fightings and killings, remember the conflicts in Northern Ireland? Do you consider yourself to be a Christian Theland? if so, why do you show hatred for your fellow man?

Vulcan - Hitler? A supposed Catholic but correct me if I'm wrong.
But do you honestly believe that after letting his true feelings rule his politics that he had any belief or fear of God?
I would say he was an atheist but his sidekicks were into the occult.
Maybe somebody could enlighten me but I would not class Mr H as religious.

Khandro, that gives a false impression. Hitler recognised Islam’s ambition and methods but his admiration was purely political, the determination to conquer by the sword mutual. Hitler regarded the Arabic peoples as racially and socially inferior describing them as ‘at best lacquered half-apes’. Quite simply, the generally unacknowledged differences between the ideology of Islam and Nazisim are negligible.
Theland, //they had no fear of a higher power to instil some moral code. //
When madmen believe they’re justified in doing what they do, they consider that any higher power they may cleave to is an ally. ‘Gott mit uns’ proclaimed the badge on the belt of the German military – and oddly enough God was with us too - allegedly. The only people God appears to have abandoned completely were his favourites – the Jews.
Hitler described himself as a Christian and Jesus as an Aryan opponent of the Jews, justifying Nazi crimes against the Jews by endorsing propaganda perpetrated for two thousand years that they were responsible for Christ’s execution. That, of course, doesn’t explain his determination to annihilate others so one can only conclude that his primary ambition was solely to lead a superior Ayrian race. The simplest explanations are often the most likely.
Hitler was a madman who had no hesitation is utilising anything he thought would further his cause so in actual fact anyone seeking to fulfil a personal agenda can make what they will of his history. You want him to be Christian? You’ll find it. Atheist? You’ll find it. It’s all there because Hitler is a good example only of a tyrannical megalomaniac and of the dangerous influence that such a man is capable of imposing upon the hysterical masses.
Richard Dawkins doesn’t hate your God. He offers rational arguments against a philosophy he regards as damaging.
Following on from SparklyKid’s comments. I agree with him. Your woes are clearly many, Theland. I have to say your God doesn’t seem to bring you happiness or contentment.

Barsel; Most wars, conflicts, acts of aggression (call them what you like) are political & based on territorial claims.
The egregious contradiction to this comes continually from only one religion which often fights against sectarian divisions within itself & has aspirations to world domination - by violence if necessary, & with supreme irony (or double-think) it calls itself, "The religion of peace"!

atheist//Khandro, are you talking about christianity?//
I hope you are joking, rather than being ignorant.
You would have to go back a long way to find a war concerned with Christianity, to the 17th century in fact, but then modern historians tend to eschew the religious dimension of that & describe it as a struggle against the autocracy of Charles 1.
If you want to find a war based solely on Christianity you would have to go back 7 centuries to the last of the crusades.
