Difference of religion breeds more quarrels than difference of politics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
First of all, my persuasion is what really breeds violence is political differences. But because religion serves as the soul of community, it gets drawn into the fracas and turns up the heat.
Religion, for better or for worse, has been politicized in blatant ways that have seldom been equaled in American elections.
Politicians use religion, and they get their troops riled up with religion.
Political differences will always generate a healthy debate, but over time the dialogue has become more hateful and at times violent.
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
Religious conflict can be the bloodiest and cruelest conflicts that turn people into fanatics.
Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.
Politics is really religion. Politics is about sacredness. Politics is about offering a vision that will bind the nation together to pursue greatness.
We ought to recognize that religious strife is not the consequence of differences among people. It's about conflicts between creation stories.
Mr. Speaker, I am deeply concerned that many regions of this world are suffering from the effects of armed conflicts with religious aspects. I believe that the differences of faith are not the real reason for these conflicts.
