As long as primates exist, there will be disagreements that lead to violence. It can arguably be expanded to mammals and beyond. Humans are, without a doubt, the worst offenders, though.

Following this rather interesting thread with tongue firmly planted in cheek  Can we assume that if religion was removed from this mess that everything would be right in the world or would these nut jobs find something else to argue about? Just my 0.02 Peace Adolf Hitler

I see people in a different and better light. Humans are, without a doubt, the highest achievers of all living things on this world.
Every individual, is a combination of good and evil, courage and cowardice, wisdom and folly, strength and weakness. Even among the participants of this thread, there is disagreement as to what constitutes good or evil, courage or cowardice, wisdom or folly, strength or weakness.
Nevertheless, we have a nominee for worst offender in the animal kingdom ... oh, and it's us, also known as the crown of creation.
Yup, it's all true, but a bit more complex, I think.

Just my 0.02 Peace Adolf Hitler It's my understanding that Hitler referred to a higher power of varying titles in Mein Kampf and many speeches. I think the only one that truly knows that whack jobs religious views is Hitter himself.

Hitler didn't use religion as his main motive/propaganda for his mass murder actions.

Yup, it's all true, but a bit more complex, I think. Well said. That reminds me of a very relevant quote that is one of my credos- "The enemy is not the other. The enemy is you". Jiddu Krishnamurti

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
