Man will never agree on religions because he thinks they are his personal
property
If there were one religion clear and free from all ambiguities with a
visible
god at it's head, then i guess all would be well.
but we clearly know this is not the case, so the bickering goes on.
Problem is bickering at times descends to outright violence and sometimes
killing. History proves the point very well
But you are right, mean hurtful things should be minimised.
