Ive always asked myself, why is it that a religion based country is so scared of peace and so drawn to violence and persicution of others just for different thought? Why is it that we put so much emphasis on the amount of money we have and we let it set a "Cast" system 4 us? Why is it that we constantly have to prove ourselves to others? or even feel we have to answer to them? Why do we look to others for answers? Why do we try to make others believe as we believe?
In my own personal belief, I think the distortion of religious beliefs has played a major part in the erosion of this Great Nation! We,as humans continue to spread Ignorance and violence worldwide all in the name of "GOD". I personally think we as Americans have suffered from the ignorant indoctrination of others, leading us to fill inferior to someone or something else and its that feeling of inferriorness that has us lashing out at others that are different than ourselves!!
I think that since this feeling is still embeded inside us, and still to this day, continues to grow. I believe since Peace is so different than that feeling we have within ourselves, it has us so scared and that is why we lash out in ignorance and violence!!
So when this idelology that one is superior and the other inferrior is totally dis-credited and abandoned, we has humans will loose this feeling and embrace love and morality with open arms and an open heart!!
I believe that its time we open up our minds and then our hearts, and look at everone as equals, no matter any differeces. All we do is eliminate our future with every person we try to destroy, but we could do so much if we finally realized the power is within EVERYONE OF US TO CHANGE THE WORLD if we let LOVE RULE,it within its self is the MASTER BUILDER.

I believe that as long as there are religious nut jobs in this world, there will never be peace. If they would take the time to look at the other religions' beliefs, they would realize that there aren't as many differences as would appear. Until ALL religions can accept the others as equals, they will continue to wage war in the name of their God. I have my beliefs, and you have yours. Don’t try to force your beliefs on me and I won’t try to force mine on you. That should be every one’s philosophy on religion.
