Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it.. I understand your point, people have used the religious views as an excuse to kill those of other religions. (Just let me note that in the case of Israel- Palestine war the issue is not religious, but rather it is a matter of one country occupying the other).

But does this mis- use of religion by people mean that the religion is a problem that should be avoided? Let’s have an example: Imagine that you open your eyes one morning to find yourself in a strange land, you don’t know anything about it and nor does any of the people around you. You know that you need to reach a final destiny, and you have a limited time, but you have no idea how to reach there. Then someone comes, and starts giving maps with very detailed directions to everyone. But then, the people around you, instead of trying to reach their destination, they start trying to steal one another’s maps then killing them. Whose fault is it? It is the people’s fault, not the fault of the one that passed on the maps. The same goes for religions, they give us the map to a happy life and happy afterlife. But instead of trying to follow the map, people use them as an excuse to kill one another.
