We are all witness of recent events, war, killings, and terrorism claiming they are doing it for their god. What do you think of this belief?

Totally ridiculous, absurd and hilarious.  Actually they are just using their religion to validate their bad intentions.  They are quoting quotes from their scripture about legal killing which actually a non-sense.  They are just a bunch of lunatics and will kill to satisfy themselves.

Which religion do you refer?
Religion basically teaches good things, to shape people's morale. To limit lust, respect others, etc...
Those who commit crime, insult, slander, even killing others are the one who uses religion as the shield. They keep their misinterpretation about the doctrine and try to influence and persuade others to have the mind like them. So, religion is not bad, the few people who use it to commit crime are the guilty one.

i am referring to the ISIS and those terrorist in Philippines,Maute, who claiming that what they do is for Allah. They killed christians, those who are not Islam and those cannot pray an Islam prayer they shot them in the head just like that.

I am totally disagree on the q above.. People dont kill for religions... They kill after the beliefs.. And beliefs were raise when they were a kid.. They believe that is correct and brained wash of those reason.. I am so  ease for them.. Please dont make them so guilt... This is such a shame for religions... Muslims kills because it was explained and learned.. But what i hate is that shit of catholic that telling it is equality and sharing is xhit.. But xhit i know their schools only rich kid are welcome how come they were about poor... Some religions are scam thats what i admire for muslims

Myth comes to life in people's minds. In social terms, myth can be considered as a linguistic code, designed to change individuals and populations behavior. This is an evolutionary developed cooperation tool of our species.
Tool can be used in any manner, nature is cruel, civilization is about transcending our biological nature. Blockchain is a promising step in this direction, btw.

I think god if he exists doesn't want us to annihilate each other. If he created us it means he wants us to survive.
People who look to justify their killing are worse than animals. They want to kill, they like it, but they need a way to calm their conscience. I piti them for not having some real goals in life, being unable to create anything, and unable to coexist with others.

Why would anyone kill someone and claim that they are doing it for their god, What kind of God will be so powerless to the extent that they can't punish people who wrong them on their own and rather send others to do their deeds for them.Its so laughable.

People kill for a lot of things, I remember in the year 2000, the Wendy's massacre loser thug killing for his stupid small gang, and being very proud of it. All for that feeling of belonging to a worthless group. In his mind he is a success in life because he belong to that group. Meanwhile he's spending the rest of his life in jail. But to him he's a success.

The same for people who kill for religion, thy are very weak minded individuals that feel that need to be part of something that they see as strong and powerful, status. And it's not hard to be part of it. They give themselves the illusion of not being failures. 

There's a difference between regular believers and fundamentalists (ISIS etc.). In short normal believers serve a religion because they (strongly) believe in what the religion stands while on the other hand fundamentalists (ab)use scriptures to justify their acts of terror. There is a clear line between those two and people are starting to blame the regular peaceful believers as well and that's exactly what those fundamentalists want.

Don't get me wrong but for me, this is not a war of religion anymore but extremism itself. Such thinking should be shut out because it is hurting more and more people in the recent years. I am really confused as to how they can actually do this but I do hope that it will be over soon. Guys, let's not blame it on religion but rather question the people.

that is only  a madman who is thirsty for power and blood has nothing to do with religion.
all religions no one teaches to kill fellow human beings

people kill for religion because of their self interest and their indifferent belief , they kill because they told them to do so , the ISIS are the terrorist who make cruel doing all over the world , but i think they have no religion , and the MAUTE GROUP in tge philippines is the terrorist who make war in marawi that until now it isn't stop , they claimed themselves as ISIS too , they have been bomb by the the airforce of the philippines but still they fought back , now marawi city is like a ghost town because of that war.

I think faith is a good thing. Everyone believes in something. But for the sake of faith should not kill or betray someone. It is not correct. And I think that any belief should ban violence.

It's blind faith.
Such people, terrorists, are brainwashed by radical religious leaders and think that they are doing something great for their religion, people and God.
Often, such people are uneducated unfulfilled, without clear purpose in life etc. and it's very easy to manipulate with them.

No one's blaming the religion because there are people in that same religion who are living in peace with other people of different beliefs. 

On his own a bad man will do bad things and a good man will do good things, but religion can easily make a good man do bad things while fervently believing that he is doing good.

These are brainwashed people, who believe that they will go to heaven if they exterminate someone who is not ready to believe in their god. And this is applicable not only to the Muslims, but to the Christians as well. For example, some of my Christian friends have told me that if I convert to their religion, then I will go to heaven. If not, I will be sent to hell.

They are brainwashed, and they know no different.

Actually in any religion is not taught to kill someone, they are idiots who can not think before acting and with religious attachments.

I don't think it's really for religion, they are making the religion as cover up so they cannot be guilty for the crimes they are doing. it's for themselves and the others, to look like a patriot coz they are doing it for their belief, and i really think that's so stupid of them to think that those crimes are worth it.

 religion is power like dream so it will other body   do any things  so that you find attacks and wars

They are just idiots who thinks they're doing the right thing and quoting their shitty verses about killing those people who doesn't worship their god while the truth is that they dont know anything about god or even their religion. The truth is their only doing it to satisfy themselves a bunch of insane psychotic killers who see themselves as god's people while they dont even know if that god exists or it is the right god to worship.

Some people were fed by wrong information and they were raise by hatred. Normally it is not religion that trigger one person to kill in the name of their religion but instead these leaders or head are the one poisoning the mind of there people to do what they ask to do and tell to them that it was there calling base on their book.

Yes, these people from the very childhood were fed with bad information that taught them to kill representatives of other religions even though they are very good people who benefit the world.

People kill for religion, not because people are bad, but because religious morality is essentially negative, contrary to human nature.

They accepts bribe for bombing and even they argue whenever they wants. Here most of the Muslims are more dangerous and they even bring swords while on the road. They keep flags during their festivals in more places, but our CM still keeping a bunch of money to these Muslims.

Twisted belief of religion. There will always be those who will look to religion to rationalize their actions. I don't believe that a religion would ask a believer to commit such heinous crimes for the sake of obedience.

no religion teaches evil,
the religious purpose of life is not chaotic, excessive religious panic causing harm.
Terrorists are human enemies who disguise religion

Because it is only one way to prove that their god is more powerful. ;D All religions the same sad but true

People nowadays is thinking about killing is like killing a chicken where people don't give a damn about the law once they totally block out they gonna do crimes because of drugs there taking not because the religion , Where do you hear that religion will teach evil crimes did you hear something about it well if yes then those satanic one

I think all religions are prohibited to harm others what else to kill. the person who kills a particular religion means he does not represent his religion. if one runs religion properly then he will not commit murder or harm others.

I don't really know. Maybe people think that they are righteous because of their religion. Religious belief and differences is one of the reason there's terror and violence. One religion won't accept other's belief and they would start having an argument, then there comes war. People should accept differences and we should understand that we should respect other's belief.

If you look at the ancient religions, such as Hinduism, Yazdânism, and Zoroastrianism, they are very tolerant about the other religions. But the same can't be said about modern religions such as Islam and Christianity. The modern religions are always in competition with other religions and sects and this is the root cause for most of the warfare and conflicts around the world.

Religions often ask to kill in the name of their God. Lets take a look at the Bible. Its the book you shake over your head when you yell at gay people. In it, it says at least 23 times that I could find, to kill in the name of god. God asks only one time not to murder, if Christians would just read the bible they would know this, but they cherry pick what they want from the Bible. People should know from where they speak before they open their mouths, they would sound a little smarter. In closing I would like to say God is imaginary.Question everything.

It is not religious people, it is likely religious fanatics who hide behind faith to kill. No truly religious person will not allow themselves to kill the other. There is a commandment - do not kill.

Anyone who doesn't believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster should die!   >:(

They are using religion as a cover up, they are bad and heartless as an individual

Indeed true these terrorists are morons wanting to complete their bad intentions and just using religion as a support for it and trying to put it in the name of religion. NO god or religion ever says to kill someone these terrorists are complete lunatics I don't have words for these people. One terrorist was actually caught alive by Indian armed forces on the borders and what he said was "we do it for fun".

There are sects that call for killing people. This is not exactly a religion, but it still looks like an organization. Such people just become crazy and do bad things in the name of their gods.

just stupid people kill each other for religion.

People are killing for religion because they are stupid and thats it!

Stupid people don't kill. Only the psychopaths harm others. Stupidity is normally a harmless mental condition. What is happening around the world is that the religious clerics are brainwashing the less-intelligent people, making them believe that they will get 72 virgins if they blow up at some school or restaurant. Only psychopaths would believe this.

Well, religion is very dangerous thing, people are programmed for certain actions. This is a zombie people, see how they all give their so-called fate to the rulers and even the healers. But this is also bad, but it's even worse to program for murder and robbery, it's scary.

 

267/5000
Most religions proclaim peace and love to the neighbor, but fanaticism and manipulation of some religious leaders cause death to innocent, this is incongruous with the approach of reaching a spiritual state of peace and closeness with God.

religion is based on stupidity and fear of death.

patients with religion are ready to do everything for the sake of a successful afterlife.

God himself has never instructed any body to killed his fellow humans being for him but to love one another and live peacefully. Terrorist are killing people today in the name of religion because of hate speech coming from religion leaders. The religion leaders are preaching hate because of greed and selfishness including corruption.

You need to read the bible, and not blindly believe your lying parents.   ;)



Even more here, from YOUR religious book:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Examples_of_God_personally_killing_people

it is depend on believe when you believe on some thing you do all you can to follow odors

People don't kill for religion. It's the rich people who create situations to make each other fight for their own benefit.

Because they devoted their life in their religion that what ever their leaders say was absolute for them.

No religion promotes violence as far as I know. It's people manipulating others for their own gains.

Wow.  Just four posts above yours.   :'(

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2163639.msg21887859#msg21887859

They fight for beliefs but we didnt know if they fight because they have a plan or goals in life or maybe they fight because they know that it can help to their future.  We have the right to fight if they will sight us in night.

Mostly because their religion asks them to terminate anyone who doesn't follow their religion.

It's mostly those who have been brainwashed that end up doing stupid and nonsense things about religion. No sane person will kill anyone let alone for a deity who will condone the killing of other people for reasons only known to them.

Watch lectures of Dr. Zakir Naik

Yuo will find rational explanations with facts.

this question should be ' Why Do MUSLIMS Kill for Their Religion'.. I dont see any cases of Buddhists, Hindu's, Christians etc.. killing for their religions but i see Muslims killing for Islam on a daily basis worldwide.  Why they do it is simple , they are following inn the footsteps of their ideal human Mohammed and simply doing what the quran tells them to do!!!

Because they believe and believe is a power to make any things .


with believe only you can be leader and control world 

because religion was created to manipulate and control people.

They're being control by a human, not God, these pour souls are worshiping someone who is a fake God.

People kill innocent people for their religion because all of the religious beliefs are poisoning people's soul and mind. These horrible murderers think that they can kill people who behave on the contrary of their ridiculous belief. If you are not obey the rules of so-called god, you deserve to be killed by these inhuman creatures.

religion is just about money and power and death

"If you Believe something which is not in Your life experience, you are creating trouble in society."

I wish every person deeply experiences this sentence.

this is absolutely wrong question cause every religion has strong  principle that makes a strong foundation for every one.
some peoples are changing their religious views for their own benefits.............

People do not kill for religion. I know not a single religion, maybe the cult of Kali in India is an exeption that orders killing people.

People are killed for human reason and are justified by the religious legalism and "special laws". It is some Immams in Islam and Popes and other figures that invent shit out of their bums.

It is not that religions are good. They are not. But if you search them really well in every one of them killing is looked like a very bad thing to do. It is a religious legalism that find "excuses" to do evil.

It is a conspicious act to do to invent a "special law" in religion that in monday it is bad to kill but on friday it is ok. That is very very very bad to use the name of God in such a way. But all people that do that are rebuked by the Christ as the sons of the devil.

We are talking about killing people here not about beliefs. Sadhguru does not answer the question. He does not express the reasons why people killing other people.. I would have appreciated very much his way of viewing the situation in Islam for women…

Did God tell you to kill people? Resisting communalism is now the challenge for the world. Millions of people are dying because of religious extremism, ignorance. No religion supports violence, war, torture.

Because it's  the stupid belief that if you kill in the name of God, you are holy in front of Him and you are helping him in a good way and it pleases Him.

We are talking about killing people here not about beliefs. Sadhguru does not answer the question. He does not express the reasons why people killing other people.. I would have appreciated very much his way of viewing the situation in Islam for women…

Well the only religion I knew were killing, events was Islam or Muslim. But sometimes I think they abusing and using their religion or belief to escape from their sin what they did. then would says killing was a kind of holiness. Which is totally insane and ridiculous as well as too :D

People have their own beliefs like Muslim they killed people because they want to go in heaven like what they knows.

They kill because that is what they believed in. Even though it's hilarious and absurd, the religion tells them to do so. But I'm not generalizing all religions, some of them kill because of what they'd interpreted on a certain sayings.

They had been brainwashed, the religion never taught to kill someone in the name of God, they just being provoked by people to do the killing, by killing they think that they become superior and there will be less bad people, but actually that is never the way of religion, a good religion never teach us to harm others

These people are brainwashed by their own religions. I, personally have had affiliated in a religion myself, but I only joined in because I want to be morally good to myself and to others. But if My religion is demanding to kill just for its sake, I would not gladly abide by it. Even if it means rebelling with my own religion. People kill for their religion because they think what they do will benefit them through their so called "God", they think it is what they must do, but in reality they are just brainwashed and delusional people who follow a corrupt religion.

Because religion was created to manipulate and brainwash people in order to obey its commands.
People are fighting in the name of their religion by the day religion was created.

Sadly, those are the extremist. They kill in the name of their God. I wonder what kind of God they might have? If their god is blood thirsty then he is not worthy of worship. God must be a god of love, forgiveness, compassion, acceptance and not a killer.

So they are killing people just because someone had authored a book in which it is sated that they will get 72 hoors (virgins) if they kill an infidel? This is beyond belief. I don't think that any individual in his normal mental state will fall in to this trap. But still, I don't know why so many people are believing in these fake stories and myths.

People kill if their beliefs lead them to the conclusion that they should kill. Religion is just one of the ways in which people believe. Other people believe in patriotism and they eventually kill for patriotism. But there also a majority of religious and patriotic people who would not kill anyone. So...

I am one member of Catholicism who have been changed me a lot.But what iam asking to myself is why catholic schools are all have rich kids pupils?they are not inserting poor kids to have enroll for their school.Because poor people are not capable to enroll?Because they can not afford the price or the miscellaneous.

Its not about the god they worship but the twisted belief in the teachings of their religion. You can say they're brainwahsed by higher leaders into doing what they do. Too much faith that they don't seem to search their conscience if what they're doing is right or wrong

Sometimes we just have to admit that some of these people are just psychopath who just likes to kill people and torture people for their own personal satisfaction and nothing else, Their religion just gave them the open door to do what they always wanted to do because of the teachings of a vengeful scribe who wants to cause chaos and nothing else.

then it's someone who benefits. In general, war and murder in particular is the achievement of certain goals and religious murder is always beneficial to ideologues (they are beneficiaries) of religious violence. The main thing is to start and maintain blood and blood. And why is this world so cruel? Because it is commercially advantageous ...

People have been killing each other for thousands of years, if it's not for religion then it will be for something else, I think the human race naturally has a divisive element.

prophecy Of the bible in revelation 17:16 And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire.

That is right. They are brainwashed and filled with crazy ideology, for purpose of politics, money, and power. There is no human who want to kill each other, unless their head is consumed by hate. Imagine if people have always love in their heart, they will never kill or hurt others.

Where I live, there are a few Christian schools. The schools serve multiple purposes for the Christian churches. First, they are able to brainwash the Hindu kids with Christian ideology and convert them to Christianity. Secondly, the schools will provide employment to a lot of Christians (these institutions only employ Christians). And third, the schools sometimes conduct fund rising campaigns for various Christian causes, and most of the money comes from the Hindu students.

I think all religions help people towards self-improvement and help people get rid of the suffering of the people to be comfortable but I do not agree to take religion as an excuse to fight  >:( >:(

Some are nut jobs who have been raised by their fathers to believe the radical/violent form of Islam, some are just pissed at the US for the collateral damage we've caused over the last decade+ (especially with the stories of the US writing off casualties to get a high valued target), and some are people from all across the continent who just want an excuse to be a murderer.

Maybe it includes new religious teachings, because as I am no religion that allows to kill someone. it teaches goodness not evil.it is in my opinion

No its not, you can't call people kill for religion, they kill for the sake of evil.

I'm thinking the same thing too. They are just using their "beliefs and religions" to execute their real intentions which is to kill people. They said that what they are doing is right because it is from their God. But the question is what kind of God wanting to kill many people.

For me it was always amazing. If you are not comfortable with this world, people, you can go into the woods, mountains and live an ascetic. Kill people you dislike, because you think they are bad, unworthy, dirty - the highest stupidity. Especially when it is covered up with some special religious canons. Everyone has the right to life, and no one has the right to take it away from you.

People kill for religion because they fight for the god. They showed their love for their religion and to respect their selves. I think this is the reason why they kill people and also they have to follwo beliefs and tradition that whatever different people do bad things for them, they will make bad things too. In addition, they killed people for their religion to protect their religion.

Terrorists are brainwashing ignorant people and they kill other people for their god's honor.They believe it.

It's strange for me.
I'm sure that killing is not what the God wants

Nobody kills for religion.

People kill in the name of religion, spurred on by their own ideologies, misconstruing the truth, to suit their self agenda.

Like all weak minded people, they are easily manipulated by a mix of scripture, and suggestion.

People are forced to kill not by religion, but by other people who manipulate them in the wake of this religion! So religion does not matter. People in the slavery case are killed by people!

I think people kill people for religion, because it will ease their sense of guilt.

As long as, you say I was ordered to kill someone by God, you do not have to see killing as your own guilt.
You have a great excuse to justify your act, it is "GOD".

So, I think GOD is something human made to ease for governing.
I am sure that not only Islam but also in Jewish, Christians, Buddhist, and many religions have their own extremists.
 

It's not a religion worth being involved in. Why would a someone ask another person to kill someone just because they do not align to their beliefs. That's twisted, in my opinion. Religion teaches us how to love humanity despite it being evil. Religion will never ask you to kill another life. It's a practice of extremists and no should ever claim a life of another human.

Yes, religion is aimed at that a person develops spiritually and does not harm others. In the opposite case it will be some kind of wrong religion that leads to numerous murders.

I do not agree with your opinion, I do not think there is a religion that teaches people to kill other people of different faiths, religion teaches all the goodness of life and affection to fellow human beings.
what happens today is one of the defenses of a religious people in which they must defend their beliefs that have been despised or abused by a particular person or group that does not want peace of the world because the easiest way to pit one group with another and to create war is to blow out religious issues.

I don't thing is because of Religion,  who judge because of religion is stupid person.
Don't mix up everything to Religion we must think out of the box. Every Religion never teach us to killing people.
Don't listen hoax news, now i see many hoax even not related news on social media.

Because when human set goal he do every thing to make this goals

wrong religion men tell them you will have good other life if you kill

so that they set this is a goal and do all possible things to have good other like == kill others

Why do people kill ever? Because they are insane in the head, thats why. Now whether that is temporary insane or full time insane is determined by the courts. For instance killing people for religion seems inherently wrong

and I would argue they are full time insane. Whereas if you kill because your daughter got violently raped then I would say that is temporary insane and in my eyes is a valid reason to take out frustration. I am not

advocating anybody do any such thing, I am saying that these are the ways I view it.

Mostly because they are deranged and very stupid, why would anyone kill in the name of religion in the first place, Religions are supposed to bring people together with harmony and peace and if your religions says that it is okay to people then you should really evaluate why you belong to the said religion in the first place.

I believe there's nothing wrong with the religion, The mistake is in the people who are behind it. They deceive others via religion making their claim that you'll be forsaken by God if you don't follow such things which result to confusion of many.

They kill because of their belief whom they thought is right, they fight, they argue and they will defend and they will kill anyone who violate their law or they rights.

Do they?  Does mankind really kills for religion?  Religion teaches us on how to live life with God not kill one another.  It is not the religion that kills.  It is the perception and way of understanding our religion.  God never wanted us to be  a murderer nor a liar. Religion is not the reason of killing.  It is something more personal i guess.

yes every religions have different beliefs, they do that things because they know this was right with the beliefs of their religion. The different beliefs of other religions conflict with the religions with others. And this also wrong with the rules of humanity.

People with poor moral education tend to to wrong things and cover it up in the name of religion. No religion teaches to kill, but because someone said something bad about their religion, they believe they are now licensed to kill cause somebody from the OTHER religion criticized theirs. Morality is needed because humanity cannot be imposed. If someone is humane enough, why would they ever commit a crime, kill somebody, loot someone, or cause any kind of miss-happening to other? Its humanity that is missing, and thus people are relying on moral lessons from those religious books.

And in this process they get so much involved that they think their particular book, religion, belief is the supreme and everyone else's is just nonsense, and hence comes killings and massacres. Only if people understood being human and showing humanity would simply solve their problems, they wouldnt fall in trap of religion and get into all these fights.

Some people may kill for their religion to conquer the world. They want their religion to reign. There are some religions in which they kill people because they believe that their Allah or god will be pleased. They kill because they will have to offer them to their god. Terrorism is an issue that is timely in the world now. ISIS group kills for their religion and their personal reasons.

A real Relligion never ever implement to join to any war even train any self defence  coz they know that’s not what gOd want!! ,, other fight not for there relligion they fight becouse of what they think is right in this world, that wanted always to take anything they want for there wrong belief ,,,,,

Religion means best policy of human life.there are no religion who can say that kill some one.it's right that there are many different instruction in different religions.but every religions can't support wrong work.Everybody knows that killing is one of the most wrong work.Religions want peace but not war.so it's can't right that kill for religion.

They don't, they just use religion as an excuse to do what they want, to achieve their goals and hidden agendas. I know all religions have different beliefs but i really doubt that those beliefs will push you to do something like starting war, killings, terrorism and other unpleasant things. They use religion to take advantage of people.

No religion can ever be daid that it is religion if it preaches that you should kill under its name. Man is the person who interprets that his religion is superior to others and that id why they are doing this mali ious things for other peiple and that is sick.

My question is does any religion permit the killing of your fellow human being, if the answer is no then people don't kill in the name of religion but they kill for they own insane reason.

I think they don't kill for religion at all. They cover their thirst for murder with religion. No religion of the world teaches people to kill, they do it by their own will, they just hide behind religion. Vise versa, God teaches  us to love each other and to help each other.

maybe because it is how their religion teaches them. that they should fight and kill for the betterment of their religon. but if your religion really is righteous, why kill other people, right?

It's because if there are people not part of their religion, instead of evangelizing them, they kill the non-believers because they don't believe in anyone. These are the actions of extremists who deserve death as well.

There are people who benefit from it. And in general, it is normal for your believers and to kill people. It's funny.
 Everything is connected with money simply.
perhaps because of political discontent everything happens, but religion has nothing to do with this)))

The only religion I know that killing people for them was Holy is Islam or Muslim people. Maybe it is their doctrine to there belief which is killing someone is just nothing to them but a holiness. But sounds deceiving belief actually.

as a muslim I strongly disapproving like this thinking because it is wrong. according to Quran " The kilness of one human is the killness of whole humanity" and " saving the life of one human is the saving of all humanity"  no any religion allow like this type of killness. So like this thinking is wrong

Because the rich people brainwash the poor people.

Its easy as that.

Because their religion is teaching them to kill. If only all religions will teach their followers to forgive, understand, love, give and sacrifice, there will be no killings happening i think but instead they would murder in the name of their God because it is a noble task to kill for their God.

Everyone believes in something. Sometimes this can be a religion, but sometimes it can be a human being. man needs to believe. Believing and sanctifying a great self from him clarifies the issues that he can not get out of. and relaxed spiritually. If an ignorant person is deceived, it will continue to die. dying becomes an honor for him. However, believing comes to life.

People Kill for religion because they lack Knowledge in the word of God. Almighty God created all that exist on earth including Humans, He did not create man in one language, He crated many languages, many countries, many nations, many tribes... so that we will co exist in Love with one another, irrespective  of your religion. there are many religion all over the world, it is a matter of choice and not by compulsion or killing . the reason why people Kill is as a result of trying to Help God, in Which  he  can do without any body'S help.                                                                                                                                                       

probably because they are atheists who do not believe in the existence of religion, because they only thought of them and the world's existing realms, and according to those who created nature is nature not because of God

that's is so terrible if you kill people because of religion, i think if you do that you are brain washed because a good religion is teaching people how to be a good people not a killer.

Two main reasons. Either low IQ, or because they are legit devil people and are using it as an excuse.

Low IQ is the primary reason. Look at the countries where the killings are happening right now. It is mostly in the middle-east (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan.etc), and in the Sub-Saharan Africa (Somalia, Egypt, Sudan.etc). And these regions on average have some of the lowest IQ levels in the globe.

I think it's not true. Nothing realigion advocates command to kill the poeple. All religion have a scripture. If all the poeple practice the scripture an apply to  daily life, i think the word will be full off tolerance, and respect for each other no violence and murder.

According to my knowledge people who are killing other for religion are muslims. Because in the quaran it had been taught to them. Invasion is their religion.

It's all about extremism, xenophobia, false pride, revenge, fabricated teachings, false knowledge
and specially mental illness and lack of humanity or call them satan (or equivalent).

somebody say to me that some religion belief if they kill the more they have chance to live in better place at their second life.  i dont know if it is true but did you believe to that?

It is ignorant that make people kill because of religion, how can you kill for God who is so mighty to defend himself?  Are we not human being before religion? How can you kill for God that we never see? May God have mercy.
 And some religion cleric their not help matter, who told you, you must kill to go to heaven? They would  brain wash their followers in the name of religion to go and kill.

Every religion talks about peace,humanity. It's all up to what you believe.It doesn't matter you are muslim or hindu or others.Every religion takes us to the peace path;may be their prayers are different but the base is the same.Some people misuse religion to kill people.

  And they do not kill because of religions, but because of power! Literate psychologists handle people and these people think that they kill for religion, they kill for that person, or rather, his power!

Every man has their own Religion. if someone has not a religion he is not a human.  :-\  any religion has not preached bad things. it does by human with misunderstanding. the main reason for it is,,, misunderstanding ..  ;) ;) ;) and not respecting other religions.

They just want to force their religion on people, that's what I believe. There are times that people do not understand the boundary of respect. Respect to what others believe in and where their faith lies. I don't think that their God will be happy seeing them taking lives.

It's an excuse, no religion will force you to do something like that and I've seen no doctrine that will ask you to start war, terrorism and killings. As far as I know it's all staged, paid by the wealthy people who wants to create turmoil for their own benefit.

I think religions are big lie to use people however they want. We know religions that want to make world liveable. In addition it helps people leaving her/his bad addictions. But in reality it doesn't happen like writen on religious books. People who kill for religion belive that they will be awarded by God in heaven.

That's the thing. It differs from one's understanding of religion. For me, i believe religion should actually make lives better and us live together in peace. For others, they see those that doesn't share their religion as hostile to them. I don't think its that way. The world is too big and diverse to have only one culture and respect is what we need to practice

It is important to stress the point that people don't kill for religion. Terrorists groups like ISIS, Boko Haram et al use religion as a cover to perpetrate their evil acts. This is because they know that religion appeals to primordial sentiments and they can easily get the sympathy of the adherents of the religion and the followers of the God they claim to be killing for. It is ridiculous and laughable to say they kill for religion because the major known religions preaches peace and condemns taking human life for no just cause. It is a twisted narrative to say that they are killing for religion.

We all have different aspects and opinion to this topic , for me people fight , people kill for one reason. The Different tradition , and culture of it.

No, I do not believe that people kill people for their Creator and religion. Actually those who claim it are hypocrites. They used religion as a shield. They are involved in terrorism. I believe that any religion is not bad, using it to commit crime. In any religion it is not said that people have to kill. Religion teaches everyone how to help people, love them, do good things, etc. Religion has not taught anyone to kill.

Regardless whatever religion it may be, killing should never be encouraged for whatever reason. We are all humans and we are all creations of the God Almighty and we all should be treated equal. Respect one another, live and let live and of course, for all religions, to each his own. No religion should be arrogant enough to say that theirs is the best and unbelievers should be killed. That is just crazy and plain stupid.

People only use religion to cover up their own ugly heart, why kill, but because it involves the interests of religion, there are many people who are brainwashed, religion should be a kind of faith

I don't understand religion. Religion doesn't tell you to go and kill anything person or animal in fact it tells you the opposite in that you should not do any harm to anyone. Yet they kill in the name of religion.

I think this is because of wrong or false teaching, it was written that many false teachers are gonna fill the earth, and many will be swayed by them. News about people killing people, bombing and suicide because of religious beliefs are Because of false beliefs coming from false teachers.

I believe that this is wrong because killing is wrong especially killing because of your gods. What kind of god is that? I think it’s not a god but a demon that is pretending to be a god. The people believing this crap should open their eyes for them to see the real truth.

Too true. It just doesn't focus on Islam but through all religions throughout history has a record of killing for the religion. I think it's more of extremists reading their doctrine and misunderstanding what the actual message of the doctrine. The religion itself is not at fault, mainly the execution the in the mind of these extremists.

Maybe its their belief and wanted to be heard for it.Its their ideology.But harming people is not good just to be heard.

.    Hopeless kind of belief. The Bible is all about Love. How come that these kind people doing it in reverse.

Human is violent, Gods are human inventions

The thing about people is they are not naturally contented. So, when they believe in something, let's say their faith or religion, they tend to insist it to others as well, even though others already have their own religion, they still want them to believe the same faith.

It's a big lie. It's ridiculous. Those people who are covering their bad acts from their religion are actually not believers. It is their black propaganda to make a certain religion negative and bad to others eyes.

I dont think they do killings because of their religion. They do that because of their self, in their own black propaganda, not because of god. Religion is not related on killings some one's life.

The crusades that involved the 'Deuz Vult!' was meant to reclaim the 'Holy Land'. It was set in the Medieval period, and people really killed to conquer.

'Allahu Akbar' is another story, but here's the thing they we're all used for a certain event is history. People just like to overuse it.

That's really confusing religion tells you that it is a sin to kill, but its an exception when god tells you to? Isn't that a bit hypocritical

They are mentally ill. Simple as that. No sane person can murder someone for a reason they make up in their heads.

It is a big mistake to say that a religion is bad because someone did bad things for their religion. 

Most people using religion as power are crazy, they think they are the superior and thinking they are always right but religion is just a group of people who believe in there gods

Because they are brainwashed with religion. Can you imagine the IQ of that person ? I am also pity that people. It is probably hard even for them to don't know anything.

They are brainwashed for sure, but I am not really convinced it has something to go with their IQ.
Most of persons who kill for religions are just hopeless and when you lose hope, you become more gullible, whatever your IQ is

If someone hate to others, because of their religion,, that is the foolish man ever. because religion is dependent thing. we can not insult oh hesitate because of their religion. I`m a Buddhist. I do not Kill for religion. real Buddhist will never do that. because , first precept is abstain from Killing. Real Buddhist keep it well.

Because there is a lot of politics behind a religion that has a specific purpose and may have its own purpose for self-benefit.
 

And why is it only the poor will kill because of indoctrination. Never heard the rich kill because of religion or politics :-\

Because they are stupid

Because that is their religion is teaching them to do. You must kill in the name of your God. They think killing is doing a noble job for their God. They think their God is happy about it.

they thought and believe that they doing it for their god, that what they belief is right and and it is rightly so to defend their religion, they were somehow blinded and even these is biblically prophesied that in the later year people will become rude and become lovers of themselves and lovers of money instead of lovers of good and of God.

I think that this is already an old practice that should be eliminated already. I don't see the point of the killings just to say that you are religious and bannering what you are believing for. True religion represents love and understanding.

I do not believe god asking to kill someone. All religion always teach us the goodness. So true it is ridiculous.

My opinion, it is because of the influence and ambition of the state authorities.
because I'm sure everyone in any country wants to live in peace, happiness, no war or terrorism, mutual respect for each other, although different religions or tribes. ;D

The basic motive of the religion is to improve the humanity among society unfortunately the religious leaders are guiding everyone to get divorced and also the spiritual aspects allows an individual to grow towards divine but now most of the wars are happening in the name of god.

They all said like that to hide their bad behind the god. The god never told anybody to do something bad.

We really cant understand how they are thinking because maybe in their mind they are right but that does not apply to some of us who maybe believe in god but not as stupid as how we see them. We should let them do things and let law if possible dictate their actions.

They Kill not for their religion, and media have brainwash everybody with agenda they pushed to. there is some sick people in our world in their mind and soul, hiding in the name of their religion name. they are people with full of hate. everybody who kill someone because of nothing, like they just kill all the humankind. i hope you not referring someone religion based on media agenda pictured by some sick/stupid/controlled people on sick purpose. it is not fair at all, justice above all.

because they are different gods and and other they worship and obey..

Because they have an uncontrolled passion. They are so passionate in their belief that they want the other people to serve their God,but they are doing it in a negative way, by killing other people

Religious leaders inspire people to kill using warped and mistranslated doctrines of that religion. Religion itself when followed in the letter of its doctrine will tell you to love your fellow man, thou shalt not kill, and be at peace with your surroundings. It is when man thinks that he is above the religious doctrine and warp it into his own agenda based teachings, is when he can convince those under his charge to kill for him.

Because there are crazy

Thats not a religon anymore its a cult a way of evil caused by there idolizem in there bisual God

Not all, because there are some religion that they need to kill human for their religion because this is their belief.They need to kill for their God, they think that it was right, they think that their doing is good for them, but they are wrong because killing a people by using their religion is bad, maybe they have been spiritual of evil so they uncontrolled they self.

They don't kill for religion, it is just an excuse in front of the whole world for their inhuman behaviour. Nobody should use peace concepts to go in to war.

In every relegion they have their own beleifs but its not necessary to kill for their God..God is all the creature He is only the one who can give and get

Why do people kill for gealousy? Why do people kill for money? Why do people kill for food? Why do people kill for pleasure? There are lot of whys in this area...
I guess there are even people who kill out of boredom.

Because they have there own faith so that they kill for there religion so that as a christian i will protect my religion for enemy because i know God is with me anytime that we are.

i think because they worship to god in difference ways they dont hesitate to fight for what they belief

It's because of blindly following a certain religion or following a charismatic teaching that serves only the leader's purpose. Religion can be interpreted in many different ways so before we foolishly kill or act violently towards people of a different religion, we have to first ask ourselves if that's really what its meant. Perhaps that way we'd be living in a more peaceful world

Perhaps they had misunderstood what the true teachings of their religion is. The purpose of religion for me is to be a manual or guide in this life for us to live in goodness and harmony. I’m confident that there’s no religion that teaches taking away life of another being.

I think the main reason here is the one who was killed against the trust of religioner. Most of religioners hate guys who fuck their trust of gods.

Look at the Egyptian Mosque bombing for example, what i heard is that it was committed but Islamic extremists. I wonder why terrorists even though they are muslims would choose to attack other muslims in the first place, what would they seek to kill members of the same religion. I thought they killed only non muslims.

becouse it is business

Well, you know, my invisible master is better than your, so I have to kill you...

I think that's insane. Who believe their gods if they are killing the people whom they want to pull closer to their so called gods. Who would believe in their god if humanity is slowly decreasing in number due to the killings and wars that are happening. It's not a matter of religion now, it's a matter of spreading who's much powerful than whom.

That's the crazy side of religion. Based on their beliefs, they need to eradicate those who don't believe in their God/religion or they are doing a good deed by killing non-believers on this land that they claim that their Gods would be pleased.

That is one thing I am against every religion. No one has the right to take someone's life. When you kill someone, no matter what your purpose are, you are considered as a murderer. That is why I don't get those people who were at war because they are fighting fot their religion. For me, they are members of a gang and not a religious group.

Killing in the name of religion is probably one of the most stupidest things in our history. Only people without critical thinking would ever consider doing that. Given that it’s in their bible, I highly doubt that our God meant it to be literal. If it’s literal, I myself would question it because killing another person means killing God’s creation, right? There is no bad religion or bible perse, just stupid followers who think killing is the answer.

Religion was meant to be a good thing for humanity. Until its preachers and believers started to become hypocrites of their own belief.

I assume because of the eagerness to destroy. Eagerness ko kill. Eagerness to avenge their family line. To show what they can do in terms of sacrificial of life just to do the job. The mind of those people are full of hatred. Their heart is full of evil just to do the killing. Religion is their life.

I think religion is just a thing to cover it...in reality it's about people, not religion.

This is the most common problem in religion, I believe. Notice that in every religion that there is, they all have some written scriptures or rules about the teachings of their respective religion. Now, here comes the problem, most of the context their are really old and cannot be exactly interpreted based from who wrote them. That is why there is a misunderstanding, that could sometimes lead to killing.

Have you ever thought why the adherents of the eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Taoism.etc) almost never engage in religion-based fighting, while those who believe in the western religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam.etc) are more prone to violence? Scriptures are there in both the groups. So what is the difference?

I think there is corruption somewhere.  Once that happens to a system (religion) people are manipulated to go along with things they shouldn't slowly escalating and once in a croud and brainwashing has started it is hard to break out.  Some or all will have mental health issues before, and the corrupt take advantage (or they are looking for excuse to kill).

But it is about power for the few mostly.

Sad to heard it exactly. :(
But in my religion, we will not kill or disturb other religion if they don't disturb us.
We respect each others,
If they begin to dusturb us first or ask us to war, we will do it.
We do it becuase we try to keep our religion and dont want them stand on us arrogantly.
We keep what we must keep.

People who kill for their religion are not true believers, they are pretenders. They don't have the real sense of love and compassion on their beliefs. Religion teaches us to be kindhearted, humble, peace loving and not to commit sins.. Those people who kills other people for religion are evil doers who doesnt believe in their religious teachings.

I'm thinking that it's not just one particular religion. Remember at least the crusades! All religions of the world are distinguished by one unpleasant fact - they all zombify a person, making him either a weapon in someone's hands, or a subject of earnings. Any religion is based not on facts, but on the spiritual component, so it is very easy for even an inexperienced speaker to zombify a person. Suffice it to recall sins, the coming death and hell, and everything - a person begins to think on this topic more and more until he falls into despair. And then he is offered salvation only for the performance of some "charitable" actions. :-[

Because they believe that is the right thing to do to glorify their idols and also to make their religion known that they are the powerful one.

I was told Islamic religion permit believers to kill any one who is against their religion , in what they called Jihad. But People who kill because of religion has already commit sin and I don't believe they will be forgiven by their maker

I think that is absurd. I do not get why they are calling it as holy that they kill other people just because it is against their faith. They think of it as it is the will of God. That they are fighting for God.

Religion in itself is a peaceful idea I think.
However, there have always been people abusing it for their own causes to gain power and/or money by virtually brainwashing followers with their own interpretation of the religion.

Extremism is not a religion it is a value .
We only think it is for religion but it is not especially it religion is base in love and peace or brotherhood

Religion is wrongly used in this case, no one should kill.

Notwithstanding the cultural and interpretive differences between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the God worshiped by Muhammad is the same God that communicated with Abraham and to which Jesus prayed. This one God, it is believed, revealed sublime values which were then disseminated by the three largest monotheistic religions. It is therefore easy to wholeheartedly support these religions for giving voice to ethical injunctions for centuries

People do not kill people for religion, they use it as an excuse to free their inner homicide istincts  >:(

It is so disheartening to hear that people kill their fellow human beings in the name of religion. What kind of religious teaching will tell people to kill because a reward awaits them, there is no truth it. I think they kill their fellow human being because they believe by so doing some sort of rewards awaits them.

I guess religious terrorist are just twisted by leader, I don't think there is a religion exist to hurt other people all they teach is good for me it's just that some educated people are changing its meaning and will pass on to their members just to create some havoc for their own interest.

Killing people is prohibited in every religion. People who kill another people for religion reason is non sense. They just force their belief and miss understanding about their religion. I absolutely disagree to this cruel action.

I think there are bad guys who abuse religion to do bad things. religion teaches us good things, is firm support for morality. But some people are too religious to be used to kill people, terrorists

Sometimes this reasoning is only used just for them to fully do their bad intention. But, in some cases where someone was involved in killing the reason behind this perhaps is to protect their belief or in other words they felt insulted to what other people say about their religion. Religion vs religion and belief vs belief.

In my opinion, that is the Islamic state organization called IS. This organization is becoming a major issue in the world. They kill people in a barbaric manner, perform terrorism, post killer clips, terrorist pictures, most recently a terrorist picture of the world cup

There are both good and bad things about religion. For example, take the case of Islam. There are a lot of good things in Islam, such as the punishment for adultery and prohibition of alcohol. But we need to remember that there are bad things as well. For example, in Islam apostasy is punishable by death, and so is homosexuality and blasphemy.

Because of there beliefs and there faith

That question can be asked pretty much for anything: Why would you kill for x (replace for any cause really)? So many different variables, anything from psychopaths to false beliefs to being misled to torture, etc.

I guess they just want to make a statement regarding the teachings of their religion. It is also a factor if they had misunderstood the teachings that their religion imposes to them. This is why we shouldn't blame the religion itself but the misunderstanding of the people.

People kill for religion because they are not able to think, it is like fighting for peace, and unfortunately this kind of people are very easy to manipulate so as long as it is involved hurting others it can't be called an religion.

I think the reason why people kill for religion is the based on the teachings and belief of their religion. They belief they fight to enable them have some rewards from God. It is unthinkable that people can't think properly to know what is right and what not.

These are religious fanatics who are actually crazy. Unfortunately, there are too many of them to be placed in a psychiatric hospital.

That's all bullshit. No religion will ask you to take an innocent life just for them. These are believes created by the media to drive fear in us so that they could control us.

It's just that people are territorial too. They think that only their religion will be saved by God, or they think that they are superior in terms of faith. Which is ridiculous, each of us are given a blessing of life and other religions should respect that we are all equal in the eye of God.

the fear of death. lack of understanding of love. a war of "We are in possession of the truth." but you can only find the truth within.

They just use religion as an excuse to kill, but I'm sure they have ulterior motives such as monetary or political gain by using religion to kill.

Some of them believe they are doing it for their god... Which is not meant to be

There are people who are totally absorbed by their beliefs that they will kill people just to justify their religion.

The ISIS terrorists will kill you if you dare to criticize their religion. They will slander all the other religions by saying that Jesus is the son of a whore and Hindus are worshiping monkeys. But if someone try to criticize the prophet or some of the verses in Quran, then the unfortunate person may be at least maimed if not killed outright. Check this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_on_T._J._Joseph

People might hurt or even kill for their belief if they think and are convinced that what they are doing is right. Of course, any faith that tells and promotes hurting others should be checked as we have to learn to respect everyone.

I agree. God created us to be united as well. We are all His Daughters and Sons I highly believe as well and I don't think by killings never pleases Him just to justify which religion must be followed. I really don't see why people do that.

I have been involved in both wars and revolutions. Seen both good and bad things done; BUT what drives me to a rage, is when these poor girls that were taken captive by ISIS, enslaved, raped, traded, sold, degraded, and more, are finally freed and return to their families, are then  killed or driven away by there own family members because they have dis-honored the name of the family.

 This not isolated, but common in may parts of the world.

This one God, it is believed, revealed sublime values which were then disseminated by the three largest monotheistic religions. It is therefore easy to wholeheartedly support these religions for giving voice to ethical injunctions for centuries.

People kill because they want to, not because of religion, killers will always want to find a way to justify what they do and it just so happens that some of them choose religion to try to justify it which in turn tends to paint the people who practice that religion in a bad light. It's just pitiful because religion has absolutely nothing to do with their actions

Religion brings division!we are all brothers. And sister created in the image of God.but because of religion people are killing each other.this is not the way!.the god of this world has blinded the mind and soul and replace it with hatred and revenge!

People need purpose in life, which is one of the wonderful things religion brings.
Some people though, manipulate that purpose towards something malicious like war and violence.
On top of that, most religions are kind of violent because they were invented thousands of years ago,
when morals were a lot different.

Considering the ever-present challenge for human survival in a hostile world, it is understandable that religions would occasionally remain silent on the verdict of war or fail in their missions to promote peace and amity.

Well, they only make religion as a weapon in which they themselves do not embrace it. In my opinion, this reverses the facts and intends to intimidate believers who claim that their anarchist act is a demand.
