When we think to fallow God is to kill someone, one would think to think again, and yes many were killed in the name of God, and in the old books, many were killed by God, but not as many as are killed by our silence, by our unwillingness to stand up and say enough.

So Many
So many people have been murdered senselessly in the name of whom the believers follow. I am in no way taking sides here, I think it is horrible the way people are murdered because they believe that their God, whom they believe in wants them to do it. I am in no way condoning what happened. It has happened many times. How many times can you count that we have heard "Oh, I did it because God told me too". Or "I did it because "I was led by Allah to kill that particular person". I thoroughly believe these people, Jim Jones for instance, have been brainwashed to believe this way. Not only by one religion, but by many. There are over 10 thousands religions out there in this world. I am a very spiritual person, as opposed to religious. My biggest and foremost disagreement with 'organized religion' is the brainwashing of this nature. It happens in all religions. Study the religious wars. They also were fought in the name of the God, or in some cases gods. This has happened for thousands of years and until the world realizes exactly what is happening it will continue.
