I can't say it any more clearly. As I said, I am agnostic. Google it if you don't understand what it means.
I don't think that gods give a damn about anything even if they do exist. So to me they are irrelevant.
Ah … so who said about Taliban and Vienna? Although there is a song in Arabic about "the nights of love in Vienna" :lol:
Concerning what you said about Allah or God: He was and is there, but their fighting was not in the name of God; in addition there were the ethnic and secular motives and to expand the kingdom. The other party was the same also.
Moreover, they started to walk in the paths of the past nations of Jews and Christians concerning the enthusiasm and sanctifying the graves and shrines of saints and imams: their patrons.

So is this your wisdom? because in the previous reply you said that you seek after the wisdom.
And is this "mother nature" in your avatar: she pours the water of wisdom ? :idea:
Everywhere. Books, magazines, newsletters, pamphlets (some of which show up in my mailbox a few times a year), pulpits... I can't count the number of times I've been told by fundamentalists of several stripes that if only we'd return to the old ways god would smile upon us once again and all would be well. Surely you must have heard, for instance, of how Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell blamed the infamous 911 attacks on an angry deity deeply displeased with America's moral turpitude. What do you think that was, if not an argument to return to that Old Time Religion? Religious fundamentalists of all stripes are prone to blame current problems on the deity's turning away from us because we're not following his rules. And they, of course, are the only ones who truly know what the rules are, so they think they get to tell the rest of us how to behave.
It is my wisdom. If others find the same wisdom, that's fine. If not, I don't care. I don't find worshiping gods who apparently don't give a damn to be particularly wise. I have better things to do than waste my time and energy on that sort of activity.
No. It is Nookomis - mother nurture.
A cogent and sensible response, on one level, but it's not that simple. A lot of people who think he is, and a lot of people who think he isn't but think somebody else is (Mohammed, for instance), also think they have some kind of lock on the truth and are entitled to force it on others. That's why, as neither a Christian nor a Jew nor a Muslim, I care. It matters.
You bet it matters. Given free reign, most religious fanatics would have us back in the dark ages and the inquisition in a heart beat.
During thee Vietnam War a popular hymn was
"Let us wage a war on sin;
Let us kill that Ho Chi Minh!
Let us bomb the Vietcong!
O let us sing our Saviour's song!"
