[QUOTE="Veho, post: 698521, member: 38180"] I'm pretty sure any religious fanaticism turns off the "free will" switch and turns people into mindless sheep that follow orders unthinkingly. People don't fight and die for their beliefs, they mainly fight and die for someone else's beliefs, or more often, someone else's financial gain. I'd say the free will has more or less been turned off through brainwashing and propaganda. People are played into whatever plans the big boys have. People unquestioningly doing what a mullah, priest or rabbi tell them have had their "free will" switch burned into an off position, as well as the people who follow politicians and TV news channels. That means that not "free will", but instead a lack of it, is responsible for wars. No free thinking individual, mind uncluttered with propaganda, would go to another country and blow himself up, or blow anyone else up, when it's in everyone's best interest to play along nicely. People telling anything else are the ones responsible for wars. Unfortunately, religion isn't the only way to start wars. Along with the "religion on/off" switch, there should also be a "follow instructions from the shiny box with moving pictures" switch, to be turned off as well. Because they both boil down to the same thing: a "wise", "fatherly" figure, telling you what to do, in the name of something you may hold dear (when the thing you hold dear would be just as happy without you interfering). Be it country, God, "way of life", arguments are the same on all sides, make no sense on either side, and make people do idiotic things. That's the same for religious [i]and[/i] political propaganda. Politics hiding behind religion, religion hiding behind politics, both just a huge pyramid scheme to scam the suckers at the bottom and bring money to the top. And don't confuse "belief system" with "religion", because most "belief systems" tell their, well, [i]practitioners[/i], to be nice, play nice, and get along (and sit down and shut up), while "religions" with their [i]followers[/i] (notice the difference) tell people to do the complete opposite.
