Dusting off an oldie, but goodie from The Onion:
" NEW YORKResponding to recent events on Earth, God, the omniscient creator-deity worshipped by billions of followers of various faiths for more than 6,000 years, angrily clarified His longtime stance against humans killing each other Monday.
"Look, I don't know, maybe I haven't made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again," said the Lord, His divine face betraying visible emotion during a press conference near the site of the fallen Twin Towers. "Somehow, people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to kill their neighbor. Well, I don't. And to be honest, I'm really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand."
Worshiped by Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike, God said His name has been invoked countless times over the centuries as a reason to kill in what He called "an unending cycle of violence."
"I don't care how holy somebody claims to be," God said. "If a person tells you it's My will that they kill someone, they're wrong. Got it? I don't care what religion you are, or who you think your enemy is, here it is one more time: No killing, in My name or anyone else's, ever again.""

(1,372 posts)I don't understand how part of the Muslum religion got this killing thing going.
Now we've got this Imam or Iatola telling them to attack more
councilates because Al-bibie-bop-a-loo-la's blood is calling out to them..
Do they really speak like that or is that just a literal interpretation?
this all confuses me...

(44,980 posts)I seem to remember reading about some people he ordered to be wiped out. Of course that was just in a book so it could be considered hearsay.
To all who do violence in the name of religion:
If you are willing to kill for your religion, why not start with yourself?
