I know there are religious people who are extremist as in extreme worshipping but I am not talking about them. I am talking about martyrs, murderers, 11 year old kids taught how to kill anyone that poses their way of life and religious beliefs., 5 year olds holding ak-47's and people who rape their own people.

Apparently you've never heard of the Crusades? Roman catholic priests can molest kids and that happens here. Religion turns it's righteous back on people who truly need help so that they can "help" people in a way that makes them look good. Apparently you also missed all the times that people during the world wars prayed to god to help their side win. Do you think he was picking sides? Just about every war that's ever taken place has been over one of two things.. Land, or God (whoever's gods may be at that time). The two often intermingle. And if you don't think this whole thing isn't about "god" on Bush's side, you're crazy.
You are getting to see the ugly side of humanity.. the world you're bringing your child into. The world where people on YOUR VERY STREET may be molesting children, beating their wives, or killing people over a crust of bread or a pair of shoes, maybe even doing so in the name of God. These people are fighting for what they believe in, and I definitely don't agree with them or their methods, but it's not a new thing. It's something that's been going on for the entire history of man, and is likely going to go on until humans are dust on the mantle of the earth. It's very easy to point fingers and say "They are horrible, they are evil, they are bad". They are not the only ones doing this disgusting shit. You should be in an uproar over the child soldiers of Sierra Leone, the mass murders and genocide in Rwanda, civil war all over Africa? I agree, what's going on in the middle east is SHITTY, but there are just as terrible, if not worse things going on for no reason better than a greedy dictator or a stream in the forest. Writing off the entire religion, and entire people based on only a few is just as wrong. And as I've already said, the uproar going on in the middle east has been going on for as long as people have populated that flyspeck in the world.
But to go and say this shit doesn't happen here? It might not happen the same way, but it happens EVERY SINGLE DAY, right in front of your face. In your town, in your country. Might as well face reality and acknowledge that right now. People say that animals are killers. Fuck that. ONLY humans kill purely for pleasure.
