Default Belief and Politics - God and Dirty Politics

Hey guys

Well i am a person who thinks most of the wars on the names of god is just fueled by dirty politics and nothings else!

Be it India pakistan iran iraq or anywhere! Its just dirty politics that ruins peoples lives!

i really suggest everyone to watch a Pakistani movie(which is mostly in english) - Khuda Ke Liye - on the name of god
which has won several awards ...

this movie shows how life gets bad when greed and beliefs come together!

what do u think bout it?

I do agree with you that wars were fought mostly due to the dirty politics of leaders,but very few in the name of God.In India-pakistan case,God is not the reason instead it's due to Kashmir issue.

But I must watch the movie you've referred,which has something to learn.

I agree on what you are saying. In my country a religious leader is always saying that do not steal but yet he is condemned of not paying taxes. Not paying taxes is equivalent to stealing from the government.

I'll check out the movie that you mentioned.

I think that very few wars have been started over religion. Religion is just being used as a coverup because the leaders know that it cause their citizens to stand behind them. No leader will ever say "I want this war because I want their gold,jewels,oil, etc" but instead will say "I want this war because these people do not believe in the true God!"

What ruins peoples lives is the people themselves. Us. There is greed, envy, lust, everything that makes this world a miserable place to live. If we will all learn the value of life and giving, than the world would be better, even the politics.
