It is easy to blame religion for acts of violence carried out in religion’s name, easier still to comb through scripture for bits of savagery and assume a simple causality between the text and the deed. But no religion is inherently violent or peaceful; people are violent or peaceful.— Reza Aslan, Beyond Fundamentalism (via abideinhislove)
There’s a lot of wisdom in this snippet.

I have a hard time agreeing with this statement. Christianity is a peaceful religion, it’s just that certain Christians (psuedo-Christians and rarely true Christians) have used the Christian religion for violent means over the centuries.
