Religion is not the ONLY factor responsible for worldwide violence/conflict certainly, but it is a contributing one. Religion has been in the past- and still frequently is- used as a tool or an excuse for oppression, hatred, and war.. though Christianity in its many forms is certainly not the only religion guilty of this..Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825269849048220598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572719213313807865.post-60699879034504659622012-07-05T10:01:58.116-07:002012-07-05T10:01:58.116-07:00And the person with the COEXIST sticker will say, ...And the person with the COEXIST sticker will say, "He tasks me!

To test my theory look for the companion bumper decoration which is usually a Darwin fish or a "Blessed by the Goddess" bumper sticker. COEXIST is nothing more than sophomore level syllogism that concludes with the major religions being responsible for worldwide violence. Because of this, whenever I see a COEXIST bumper sticker I think of a Kirk quote in Star Trek II.
