Religion is a very personal tenet...you should avoid the wrath of god. Please close this thread soonest....remember what happened to Dave Allen when he fell out with the Catholic Church Dave Allen was a legend

Winner! See also many of the various 'ancient' religions - Kemetic, Roman, Greek, Mayan, Wiccan, Pagan, Druidism etc. Most of those make more sense than the current ones too! Sorry mate but buddhism went through sticky patch when it wasn't "opposed " to suicide and simply because of their believe of the afterlife thousands were murdered

Sorry mate but buddhism went through sticky patch when it wasn't "opposed " to suicide and simply because of their believe of the afterlife thousands were murdered I just knew there'd be some problem! Also the Greeks and Romans weren't entirely peace-loving, and nor were the Egyptians! Mayans - human sacrifice. I wouldn't know about the weird celtic religions tbh!

Greeks, Romans and Egyptians didn't fight because of their religion though - that was moreso a land thing, as opposed to the Christian crusades. They'd have been at it regardless of what they did! Mayans, I question whether you could call it 'large scale' - I will grant that there were sacrifices though, ditto the Druids. The others are easily safe to count in though!

No but The Romans attempted to stamp out Christianity. The other two there's a case for saying they had no religious toleration issues - though what about the Egyptians and the Jews? Mayans - I'd say large scale enough. What were the other ones? Wicca is modern, new age rubbish. Paganism surely involved blood sacrifice...

Wicca is ancient witchcraft that primarily focussed on supportive magicks. Paganism was about worshipping nature and the sun - I don't recall sacrifices there. Druidism is probably what you're thinking of. There's also no record of the Egyptians commiting acts of mass murder against Jews on a religious basis, and indeed it's even doubtful whether the slavery was as the old testament claims, as discussed on this site before. Romans, I'll give you. But that still leaves Greeks, Egyptians, Pagans and Wicca practitioners, so that still gives me four points! *determined to win this damned argument!*

The greeks and the egyptians used to check whether their " gods " would favour them in battle so technically their religion contributed to many deaths
Pagans used to offer human sacrifice so can hardly be classed as whiter than snow
But never mind you deserve to "win" NeKo.....
The only point i was trying to make was religions all have a bad side and is the most predominate "excuse " for wars and mass murders

Though I gather it doesn't kill people, which was the point. I think little is known about what Paganism used to be and how that relates to what it is now? No, but persecution doesn't have to be "up to and including" death does it?! Yeah I've heard you on that one All hail the Greeks! They never killed anyone for religious reasons, there were always more interesting pretexts for war! ;D
