Religios Question

[themanishere]

I never thought you had a problem with generalizations given that you admit to not understanding women "in general" here:

So, I don't see why you'd have a problem with me generalizing if you allow yourself to do the same, even if on a different topic. Perhaps you find my generalizing here more egregious than that example, but I am not sure why.

Ever heard of sarcasm? That was not an analytical realm of discussion, more so a statement based on my own social experience and not pertaining to the whole of women. It is not a generalization, but rather descriptive of my experience.

Fighting as it is brought up in this thread is based on religious issues, not fighting for country freedom. I don't see religious fighting as necessary.

It is not only religion (which is a type of ideology), but ideology itself that breeds fighting as necessary. Beliefs about the 'supernatural,' government (country), social values/lifestyle, etc are what make fighting necessary. Since religions are ideologies, religion-based fighting is necessary.

Being descriptive of my experience, then, I just do not find religion-based fighting as necessary. Perhaps it is on the macro level of human interaction, but my fiance and I very much enjoy each other's company in spite of difference in religion, and even that per se does not cause "fights." Even you and I here, while disagreeing on a few semantics issues, are not "fighting" in the purest sense of the word.

...Perhaps it is on the macro level of human interaction...

That's the key. It is as such because institutions, such as governments, religions, and societies, function on ideologies. If an ideology is shown to advance or maintain the livelihood of institutions, it will be employed and fought over. But things have to organize first - that's why something like anarchy will never gain anything - it isn't organized enough (because it doesn't believe in organization) to 'fight' as a whole for its ideals and their influence.

Individuals, in this, are merely extensions. Since there is more variety among people rather than the known goal of the institutions as wholes, the fights don't materialize as intensely or widely among persons as they do between institutions (religions, governments, etc) - there is more of a collective power-struggle at stake.

For influence, power, and authority.

Exactly, the exact thing that Jesus wasn't and did not teach.
