   Why do we all fight so much when it comes to religion. I admire Mark, Misha is very witty (I like him) ... Brenda is new to hubpages (very sweet young lady) ...the rest too are all nice people.Why don't we stop talking about religion and close this front for once and for all.Let's get to know each other on some new level that would not bring out the worst in us. Let's stop this madness! This is my first and my last plea.

                           PS - Don't be afraid of Mark. He just gets offended by people saying that he is going to burn in Hell for all eternity, which is a pretty foul thing to say to another person.
                           
                           He hates people who profess to be filled with some strange definition of God's love that involves dropping military hardware on people, or exploding a bomb on a bus filled with school kids.

I realize a lot of people agree and disagree an this,but the fact,I believe still prevails above the other. Some people just have to be killed, if you may say, for the greater good, of mankind even.

    I sometimes hope and wish I was born in the war era. Not like now, though, when we have sub-machine guns and all. Its all sissy-like if you ask me. Anybody can shoot, anybody can kill, of course under the right circumstances. Or wrong circumstances. But using swords, and arrows, and stuff like back in the day, when men of valour walked the earth. That would have been the life for me, really. I know it sounds crazy.
