Human beings, I'm sorry to say, for all of our boasting about how superior we are to the rest of life forms, seem to be judgmental and violent by nature. The only difference today is that most of the conflict and killing in today's world is done in the name of a religion. Now before you get riled up, I'm a Christian, but I'm just telling you what I observe.
What can we do? Try to overcome our nature and thus stop being so judgmental, and stop reacting to perceived affronts with violence. Teach our children to see the world in a different way.
Good luck with that.

Maybe I was too hasty in my judgement. This is a positive comment. The world has problems, the world has always had problems but it is how we we address those issues with compassion, hope and and have where with all to change.
