It's all personal, it all depends on the individual.

If you think you need religion for guidelines in life, so be it.

You were discussing the specifics of religion of how it can be used to cause wars.

Yet you forget, of how religion can be distorted, and how religion is actually not perfect.

You may view religion as a perfect guidance as a moral compass, but what you didn't realize about religion is that, it is the ONLY thing to deters humanity's lack-of-intelligence moments when they are at its most emotional state. Those who deny this has no understanding of the human psyche.

I was implying that the human psyches are the causes of sex and violence, hence war, be it with religion or not.

Religion has become a tool for war, and yet you blame it on religion and call it the "cause", when the cause is ACTUALLY HUMAN NATURE.

Very true. Religions, esp organized ones, can be distorted by charismatic fanatical preachers who cleverly see religion as a tool of power. It's very easy to be seduced into such realm when you don't have enough knowledge of and be influenced by them. In a way, religion can be a thinly disguised propaganda.

if god really exists, and god is 'good' as what our current beliefs state,


Then devil exists too.
