ok lol i started forgeting posts and i actually had to go back to be reminded XD. ill just finish this with one last post.
all i said in the begining is that: in the end. doesnt matter what a person believe happened it is HIS decision to hurt people and HE will have to face the consequences (good or bad) i can clearly say that if god will say that killing people is a good thing id rather be evil and face whatever pain god has to offer.
if he is evil that doesnt mean we know that. also people worship the statan and im pretty sure they know he is evil. god did a few things in all bibles that proved he is worth warshiping.
What did he do that weren't cancelled out by his evil acts. If he didn't do evil things why does he let there be a book about him doing them? And I'm not a Satanist and anyway, Satan kills a few people in the bible and God kills millions, maybe billions. If I had to worship one I'd choose Satan.
true but in the end its the decision of the person itself. in the end, blaming a book, belief or past is a bad excuse for killing. also not all religions do that
But what does religion do other than influence peoples decisions. And there will always be some peaceful religions but lots of violent ones as well. And if you remove the violent ones peaceful ones will descend into violence so the only solution is to get rid of all of them.
Just to answer the OP. I am a deist. A religion based on the idea of nature's power, and reason. Don't try to dissuasde me, I have researched them all, this one makes the most sense to me.
And there will always be some peaceful religions but lots of violent ones as well. And if you remove the violent ones peaceful ones will descend into violence so the only solution is to get rid of all of them.
Judaism existed long before Christianity, Islam, or any other major religions existed that have killed other people who wouldn't convert to their religion, and they never had mass killing of anyone. So if they existed before violent religions and were still a peaceful religion you have no proof that "if you remove the violent ones peaceful ones will descend into violence".

Those few Satan kills were done with Gods approval as well. So Satan doesn't even get to take sole credit for those deaths.

Yes it was before Christianity and Islam, but I wouldn't put them before any major religion. Also given the OT contains some of the most bloody and brutal parts of the Abrahamic religions I'm not so sure if it's claim to peace.

Haves you seen how violent the pagan religions are. And I'm sure there was something like a fortress full of Jews in the desert that was attacked by the Romans and they all commited suicide. That counts as a mass killing.
Heh heh heh. even the stories of the crusades are violent. Its stupid how the Christians tried to impose their religion on another. I prefer to worship the Grim Reaper. Nothing like being able to call Death to your side.
I have been Episcopal all my life. But my mom and dad were both Catholic before they turned Episcopal. They said it was less strict, which it is.
Why change to a religion because you think it is less strict. If you believed in your religion because you thought it was right then why change to another religion which you know isn't. If you wanted something less strict just become atheists. Either way there is no reason to convert to another religion
