I was grown in an environment where religion was a predominate factor. However I never understood how some religious leaders can reconcile their believing with happenings they support. Don't like to question how some decision where made in my religion, but at times can't avoid or block what uninvited appear in my mind, and how it was possible to elevate to saint-wood some people with a past of war, and possible in some cases disregard for life. In the name of religion wars had been fought, innocents had been slaughter and the winners acclaimed as heroes without questioning the reason that motivates the leaders for their decisions. In history we read about some of this events with the believe that it was possible in old times when the human race was under developed, and we pray that the some don't happen again. Our prayers are not strong enough to be answered and the same decisions continuo to be made, thousands killed with no mercy while the leaders that motivate those wars, can speak with joy and smiling about the numbers as if it was just a few dollars in supper millionaire's pockets. In my lifetime many wars had been fought millions of people killed, winners (so called leaders) and many times elevated by themselves as people of God, celebrate with joy. Not having any remorse. Loosing wars, loosing so many of their people for nothing, and never question if they could archive the same end, without killing so many thousands innocents. They forgot that the dead ones had been born from mothers and fathers, have brothers, sisters and children's, just looking for revenge and never praying for the soul of whom killed their relatives. They tell us of their morals, but steal have joy on what they do. This is the value of life in our present society.
