Why Abrahamic Religions produced more religiously motivated violence and intolerance

[Toronto]

1. Abrahamic prophets claimed to have had direct communication with God and were very much concerned with following his commands

2. The Abrahamic religions emphasize the authority of written scripture much more than other religions

3. Abrahamic religions are primarily religions of obedience, believe and acceptance, while the asian religions are either religions of knowledge (Jainism and some schools of Buddhism and Hinduism) or religions of praxis (Daoism, and Zen)

4. The Abrahamic religions have also been more concerned with maintaining the purity of divine revelation, while the asian religions have generally allowed, even welcomed, other

5. The Abrahamic religions have viewed the origin of evil as located in the will or even body and matter, but the Asian thought, particularly the Chinese, see evil as a matter of imbalance and disharmony

6. Abrahamic monotheism, while theologically and conceptually appealing, may create more religious intolerance than the Asian religions that tend to recognize many deities and spiritual powers

7. Religions with a future messianic ruler and strong apocalyptic visions will cause more violence. Premillennial views may also be less violent than postmillennial theories

8. Whenever religious and national identities are fused, one will find religiously motivated violence

All Abrahamic religions are based on hate for other religions , love for their own saviour , ruthlessness against pagan or local culture!

Re: Why Abrahamic Religions produced more religiously motivated violence and intolera

Judaism, Christianity & Islam all 3 share the same roots, same God, same prophets, with some minor differences at the end. but they have been fighting among themselves since forever.

Re: Why Abrahamic Religions produced more religiously motivated violence and intolera

The funny thing is, majority of these wars in the name of religion fought in the Holy land was started by the West. For centuries, people from all 3 religions lived harmoniously in the Holy land.

Re: Why Abrahamic Religions produced more religiously motivated violence and intolera

u need to know that all these atrocities were committed by people of ignorance and lack of judgement/critical thinking. Do you think a devious leaders like stalin, hitler, toquemada, nero, valdimir etc commit these atrocities personally with their own hands? No, these leaders' wicked will were carried out by people working for them. Take for example, if LKY ask the average educated singaporeans to torture and kill the general populations, will the latter do that? compare that to a bunch of ignorant dark age people or brain washed soldiers. It always take two to tango; one to will, the other to carry out the will.

We wont know the killers, executioners, tormentors, prisoners etc. but we certainly know the leader. Who is more evil? the one that order the killing or the one that carry out the killing???????

We cannot stop tyrants, dictators & the psycho from committing these crimes against humanity. But for those who commits them in the name of their religion are the worse kind.

Re: Why Abrahamic Religions produced more religiously motivated violence and intolera

Kill 1 person and they call you murderer & send you to jail or hand you.
Kill 5 people and they call you psycho serial killer and send you to mental hospital.
Kill 100 people and they will have no clue what to do with you. e.g, Pol pot murdered thousands, died under house arrest age 73, Stalin murdered thousands, died a ripe old age of 75.
So if you are thinking of committing murder, put on a real show!
