    All modern day wars are started because of religous beliefs. So you are right.. those #'s are off.. It's probably a lot more.

    You are to admired for your charity. I am sorry if I generalized in my post and offended you.
    Back to my latest rant, The Mormon church is a cash cow, for profit enterprise (net worth in the billions). Why should it get exempt status? Scientology as well? How many "churches" are there with a following of very limited numbers that enjoy exempt status purely because it's within the law as written? Where does it end? How much corruption is there that goes un investigated because of the "untouchable" label of religion?

    They are guilty of covering up many more than one mans crimes. You think only one priest was a sex offender? you think the church itself didn't hide the repeated crimes of it's "soldiers" by moving them out of the spot light and allowing things to continue? The problem is global. Has been since the dark ages.

    no problem.

    and, in every human endevour there will be corruption...this of course includes some religion or religious people, unfortunately. but not all.

    lets hope the majority is on the side of good...I believe it is, and pray it continues.

    OK, by your definition...

    the "Gulf War" was because of religion?

    I'm not sure Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 for religious purposes. You believe so?

    You also believe op "Iraqi Freedom" was religious based?

    World War One, Two, korea, nam are all religous wars.
    Example: Hitler hated Jews, master race, took.land because it belonged to his people

    Vietnam: spread of commies an ungodly people
    Same for Korea

    Wars in the Middle East a lot is due to religious fueds between differant nations. Why D.S. And the War on terror both escilated to the way they did.

    Excuse the poor typing and explain. Posting from my phone.

    However, money and greed is a driving force also.
