that argument doesn't quite hold water for me. despite this "invention" of Christianity that you talk about - thousands of Christians were persecuted and killed in roman times, for following God. How is this an example of an invention of peace.

I wasn't being specific on any religion, but if you want to use Christianity as an example, that's fine. Though, my post was only about the principles of a religion for existing, but not of multiple religions in one world. Initial starters of a religion, such as Christianity, probably never foresaw that other people would make variations of their religion or create their own. Because more than one religion exists, clashes between what is right or wrong arise. When Europeans settlers and missionaries went to Africa to control the land and spread their faith of religion, it brought thousands of angry Africans tempered at the whites for trying to dislodge their beliefs and faiths that have lasted for many generations.

It's this war of religion that, as you put to example, made Romans persecute thousands of Christians, or Hitler exterminate thousands of Jews, or this everlasting war between Palestine and Israel.

Anyway, that last post of mine didn't contain the factor of more than one religion, but just one existent and the principles it applies to create a goodwill society. When more than one is involved, then trouble exists, and we know this by wars throughout history.
