It is not hard to say that violence in the name of God has never resolved a theological issue. Thousands killed by the protestant government and thousands killed by the catholic government never resolved the issues that caused them to quarrel with each other. To date, the disagreements are still there. Why did it take such inhumane killing for both parties to stop the violence?
'Religion becomes violent when it seeks to impose its beliefs by force. . . .
'violence is fundamentally not about religion. It is about resources and power. The crisis in Jos is not because there are Christians and Muslims'.
Thank you for sharing such encouraging perspective. I hope the message put forth by Sacks gets communicated in several ways beyound his work; by those who are opportuned to read it and those who conceive such insight about humanity.
This is really great, the problem now is, how do some of us that have access to these books and are literate to read be able to convince those that don't.
It's a very sad reality, I thought to start a conversation about this crises with an okada man yesterday about this violence, it will amaze you the perception this guy have, complete hatred, in fact, nearly absolute hatred. To the extent that he doesn't eat beef, he doesn't take no-no, he even hates to see a cow. I got to understand it's because of the experiences he had.
There is a big wound, healing this wound is Paramount to convincing people to reconcile differences.
This book is rich sir, how can one get access to a hard copy? As if kafanchan doesn't have now
It's truly unfortunate when people walk around with hate that does nothing to them other than destroy them. We should chat about this on your WhatsApp.
This is beautiful! but again our sad reality. I can however understand with those for whom this subject does not cast heavy sad burdens. If you know you know, if you don't know then you need to.
