I'm saying you're talking BS when you say every religion wants love from
God. Most religions don't have one God. Most religions have nasty or
uncaring gods. The only religions that have one God and that God is loving
are Christianity (some versions) and Islam (some versions). And perhaps
Judaism.
> Really, you think Maya religion is something people do now?
Yes. Your ignorance is staggering. The Mayan culture and religion has lasted
somewhat longer than Christianity. Why would you think it would disappear
any faster?
Maybe you should do some research before claiming you know the desires of
deities that you don't even think are worshiped any more.

No. No no no. *Every* religion doesn't even *have* a deity. There's really
only *one* religion that has only one deity, with three divisions depending
on how many prophets that came later you think there are.

You ignored the Norse religions, Wicca (which has many modern practitioners
and doesn't believe in the love of a deity), the Fred Phelps version of
Christianity, etc.
You're basically saying "My religion says God loves me and I should love
others, and that's a good thing, so obviously every religion must agree with
mine." *That* is what I'm disputing. You are categorically, undeniably
incorrect in this assertion. It's not even a matter of interpretation, given
that most religions either have no deity or lots of competing deities, so it
doesn't even make sense to use the word "God" in that religion.

You are so funny. Now that I mentioned Islam, you think I'm reading evil
into every muslim? No. You don't know about Islam, having never read the
book. However, *you* and not I are the one making assertions about Islam.

So, you know much better than the people dying for their religion what it is
their religion says? Right, OK.
> your closed minded certainties are your own.
OK, what about Wicca? What about the Norse religions? What about Satanism?
Do you have any idea what those religions even teach?
I'm not close minded just because I point out your close-mindedness. If you
make blanket assertions about religion, including assertions that are
trivial to disprove (like "Every religion's God does X" when there are quite
popular religions that don't have gods at all), you're wrong in that statement.
It doesn't mean you're wrong about everything. You're just wrong about
overgeneralizing how you *think* people should behave into "this is what
every person's religion commands them to do." It's that sort of
close-mindedness and overgeneralization that *causes* the problems that
religion causes.
