In the name of religion
1987, Lebanon during the civil war. Sectarian militias carried out massacres and reprisals across religious lines, including attacks on villages and camps. Fighters often justified killings as protecting their religious community, avenging earlier atrocities, and defending sacred identity in a fractured, faith divided society.
Fact
In Christianity, moral transformation is expected, and Christianity describes a gradual change in character towards qualities such as patience, kindness, and self control.
Ancient writings
Scripture is not evidence of divine origin. It is evidence of human authorship. Its flaws are not subtle or technical. They are obvious and systemic. They disappear only when belief is assumed in advance. Once belief is removed, the books collapse into what they always were. Ancient writings shaped by fear, ignorance, and ambition, later elevated to untouchable status by institutions that benefited from their authority.
