Islam is the cause of the conflict -

I agree ban Islam.

If I were "King" of the world, I'd ban all religions.

Religions—all of them—have caused more deaths
than WWI and WWII combined.

Actually, the one ideology that has killed more people than any is atheist.

Mere assertion; everyone in areas of the former Roman empire from Constantine on - and later, the Islamic empire - was a believer of one stripe another.

Do you know the number killed in wars in that period, before the enlightenment - and Marx - established atheism as permissible? ("Religion is the opiate of the the people").

Maybe, but what naturally competive, self-interested individuals want to think might also prove problematic, when a majority are only thinking about themselves.

Er.....you forgot to answer the post to which you imagined you were replying, repeated here for your convenience:

FD:

TGD: Maybe, but what naturally competive, self-interested individuals want to think might also prove problematic, when a majority are only thinking about themselves.

So of course you divert to Mao's failures; do you really want to compare Russia and China under Stalin and Mao with the death toll from 2000 years of religious conflict?

With religious and ethnic diversity – and hence genuine religious freedom – vanishing in the Muslim countries, while Australia’s diversity inexorably rises, our much vaunted multiculturalism cannot be an excuse for tolerating a fanaticism that, still today, so readily morphs into murder.

Wrong, mainstream neoclassical, freemarket orthodoxy is at least as dangerous; and you need to cite "communist" policies you have in mind.

One thing for certain: free markets create winners and losers, and entrench poverty, whereas current CCP policy is aiming to achieve common prosperity by mid-century.

Correct.

Muhammad should have looked East to the old Persian religion for inspiration re the "One True God", namely Ahura Mazda; a good God as opposed to "jealous Jehovah"....

The Jews didn't let Mohammed look for a good Mazda. They MADE him come up with the ridiculous, stupid mish-mash of Islam insted of giving him a government job with a guaranteed above poverty wage. We'd have common prosperity by now. But no, the Jews HAD TO make Mohammed into a priapic warlord and made him imagine he was the final prophet of the Moon God Allah.

Oy- vey!!

Wrong of course; he was responsible for adopting the ancient bronze age "jealous" god of the Jews.

Wrong again.... no explanation needed for your error
this time......

Not necessarily....

Quote:

Oy- vey!!

Wrong again, M had free will to choose a scripture, or revelation, for his new One True God religion for the Arabs. Apart from the accident of hearing the tales of the the OT prophets, and going with their revelations.

btw, Judaism (ie, the OT scripture) only survives today because Constantine adopted Christianity in the 4th century AD, along with the OT - because many Christian converts were Jews who demanded the Jewish 'bible' be retained as a prologue to the Christian Bible, given that Jesus often referred to OT law (though Marcion rejected the OT entirely, as being antithetical to a religion of the "Prince of Peace").

Remember too, Cyrus the Great, following the good God of Zoroastrianism, 'A. Mazda' (sic), freed the Jews from the Babylonian captivity. Modern Islam would have been completely different with a mazda....

I don't understand how there can be an all knowing "God" and "free will". How can an all knowing God, whom genuinely knows everything before during and after, exist without knowing every decision before you make it? The entity knows everything, therefore your future decisions are not excluded from that and known. In fact all future "actions" of every existing "thing" are already known by an "All Knowing God". lIf all your future decisions are already known, by any entity, then there is no actual "Free Will", it's already mapped and known. Unless of course even "God" doesn't actually know everything!! That of course raises all sorts of entertaining possibilities. I mean perhaps humans really were created in a particular "Gods" image just as "they" say and rather than being perfect and all-knowing, that "God" is imperfect and still learning!!!! Wink

I think we have to accept 'God' can grant free will to men, without God knowing the outcome.

If this universe doesn't progress, God can always create another one.

Yes, that's a contradiction.

Perhaps God is concerned to see if good can triumph over evil, in a conscious 'flesh and blood' world.
