Why is so much blood shed over "peaceful" religions?

For the same reasons why peaceful animals fight over mating rights only religions don't fight over spreading their genes; rather, they fight over spreading their memes. Religion is a product and priests are the salesmen with either a pillow or a gun for your soul.

they fight over spreading their memes

That's very true... And scary... But it made me laugh out loud!

What, the memes bit?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup :D

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Few people really know what a meme really is. I think that it's the single most misused word in blogdom.

Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.

Now wouldn't that be interesting to write into a national constitution?
