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.

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.
