Religion and Humanity

The question was:
Why choose religion over humanity? How can people kill in the name of religion?

I was thinking, the last place you would find Jesus is in a church.
Jesus: "Love each other as I have loved you."

Lao Tzu:

When the Tao is lost there is goodness
When goodness is lost there is morality
When morality is lost there is ritual,
 (My thought, i.e. religion)
Ritual is the husk of true faith_
The beginning of chaos

Donovan: "Riki Tiki Tavi."
"When I was a young man I was led to believe that there were organizations to kill my snakes for me, i.e. the church, i.e. the government But when I got a little older I learned I had to kill them myself." h

Imagine..."nothing to kill or die for And no religion too."

Someone once said, (sorry I don't remember whom, I think it was John Lennon) that, "religion is the measure of fear we have in us."

The more fear we have the more likely we are to kill. So hopefully we can learn to love and forgive ourselves. And then when we see ourselves reflected in someone else, and we don't like what we see, we will have more compassion and love for them, and forgive them too. Because we're all pretty much the same.
