Not so much religion as a strict adherence, to the point of exclusion and violence, of any belief or operating (economic, political, etc..) system as being the ONLY one acceptable for everyone.

Man kinds worst mistake is not being loving enough. If we loved each other more the worlds problems I think would be overcome. Religion, though it gets a bad press in fact is only a tool; the majority are sheep; who allow themselves to be manipulated into thinking in particular ways and committing horrible atrocities in the name of their country or God or money. Even if religion did not exsist, I think those in power would still use things to manipulate people in their favour.

What, you're absolving Euro pacifism and appeasement in the face of the rise of facism w/in europe, Hitler specifically?

 

Sorry,I meant one of the worst mistakes in American history. I should have made that clearer. :giveup: Obviously those decisions were far stupider.

I agree with J7, religion is a tool, for better or worse. In my wiev our worst mistake is to regard those who agree with us higher than those who don't. Those who disagre are too often seen as wrong and in need of "enlightening", often using voilence.

Whats curious, is how mob mentality, runs amoc in religions which at least from my reading of them are teaching love and respect...

..the majority are sheep

This, sadly, probably explains it. Coupled with man's own basic imperfection.

If the first mistake was religion, the second mistake was not following that religion. ;)

Agreed. lol

 

No, but in all seriousness tho, I'd have to say that religion and money are probably the two worst mistakes mankind has evermade.

 

Oh, and electing Bush as President wasn't that bright either...

No, I'm saying it :p (and Arcesious said it too ;)).

Not so much a mistake, per se, as he wasn't elected. :p
