Why do people kill for religion?

[gabmen]

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.

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.

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.

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 

[glockn]

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.

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.

[repsol]

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

[tobatz23]

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

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.

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.

[smendrich]

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.

[Creating N Action]

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.

[Alosa]

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

[Xarax]

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

[CryptoArchangel]

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.

[stelian26]

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!

[zaq130]

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.
