Poetically put, scriptures are all about “enjoying the journey rather than destination”
Well i don't know which book you are reading, but the Bible's emphasis is about that no matter how shitty your life is, in the end if you are a good person, there is an imaginary man in the sky who will place you in a paradise full of playful leopards and goats. That is the basis of the bible, the promise of the kingdom of God to all those who are oppressed and not really enjoying any ride.
Though religions have done enough harm to
mankind, it often has to do with the exclusive attitude most of them developed misinterpreting
the scriptures. Thus scriptures were blamed for all the misdeeds of religions.
I see. What then of the concept that someone who doesn't believe in God, or doesn't believe in your version of his will, deserves to die? Christians believe that someone in this situation deserves to die. Muslims not only believe in this, but are willing to do the job for God.
This doesn't seem very conducive to peace.
So what you are saying is for peace to exist, someone needs to pretend the bible and other books don't say these things, or have the rational capacity to only select the good of those books, but this can't be because most people are shitheads
Either way, it seems the imaginary man in the sky didn't foresee how such inflamatory verses, would create hate and division in mankind as it stands today.
