Religious Violence

-
"Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul."
-
I doubt that the Dali Lama would argue against that. The Pope is right. And he is brave to bring up the subject for discussions. Unfortunately many Muslims are closed minded and refuse to rationally discuss anyting having to do with their religion, their prophet or their holy book. And certainly they refuse to discuss anyting about equality for women. Or religious tolerance. Or open mindedness. My Goodness, Heaven forbid.
-
Violence in the name of God(s) is no longer appropriate. It may have been 2,000 years ago, but it certainly is not in the 21st century.
