All the Abrahamic faiths are marked by violence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The violence in the Bible is appalling.
Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
You cannot find one single verse in the New Testament that calls for violence against non-believers. Jesus said to love your enemies. Muhammad said to butcher your enemies.
I'm absolutely confident that the God that I worship abhors violence.
Violence and religion have often gone together, but it's not a perfect correlation, and it doesn't have to be a permanent connection, because religions themselves change.
Beware of generalizations about any faith because they sometimes amount to the religious equivalent of racial profiling. Hinduism contained both Gandhi and the fanatic who assassinated him.
In my rational mind, I know... that is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but when there is violence of that kind, it challenges my faith. I still can't say that I totally understand why - why that is allowed to happen.
God hates violence. He has ordained that all men fairly possess their property, not seize it.
To fill a world with religion, or religions of the Abrahamic kind, is like littering the streets with loaded guns. Do not be surprised if they are used.
Non-violence is the article of faith.
