The point is.....Why do I care in the least what God you pray to, as long as you dont try to kill/maim/hurt someone because of it. That was the entire reason for this thread, frustration based on realization that opposing religions are the reason people are dying, whether Sunni / Shiite....Christian / Muslim...it makes no difference to me, people are still dead.

You are using religion as a CAUSE of this violance, which I do not think is true.
Religion is being used as an excuse yes, but the greatest slaughters of humans in the last 100 years have had nothing to do with religion directly.
Religion is just an excuse.
