World Peace and Religious Peace in the Middle East?

You know, there is a lot of misunderstanding in the world over religions. Sometimes, I feel that if all religions disappeared and humans realized that less than 25-30 generations separate their genes, that maybe all the issues might change. Although, perhaps the primate politics, territorial conflicts and resource pursuits might still be at issue – can there ever be whirled peas?

It seems that Christians and Jews sometimes misunderstand each other, but that is more with the lower IQ folks or those who have not traveled much or don’t get it? It seems Arabs have been fighting something throughout history, if not bonded by hate for Jews, then bonded by hate against each other – sectarian violence. It always seems with religion there is always a; them vs. us mentality, which I guess picking an enemy to build a team is one of the easiest ways to build, too bad really.

Indeed, I realize that people put a lot of value in religion and believe that the religions could work with their groups to bring peace, yet, it often seems that religion itself is the problem, I guess as an observer of World Religions myself, I just laugh at all the human sound and fury, it is kind of a hoot really, it bemuses me to some degree. I wonder what Henry Kissinger might say about all this? It seems to me that opening dialogue lasts for a while, then it gets undone, only to start again, another conflict or war. I ask do you really believe it is a good expenditure of time?

Is World Peace and Religious Peace in the Middle East really possible?
