"Who's to blame [for these religious wars]?

Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

I know why you did it.

I know you were afraid.

Who wouldn't be?

War, terror, disease.

There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.

Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to [some authority figure or institution].

[They] promised you order.

[They] promised you peace.

And all [they] demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent."

All religious wars stem from the dishonesty, greed, laziness, and ego of human beings.

It's apparently way too tall of a task to ask people to learn one another's traditions.

Millenia upon millennia of bloodshed seems to be the preference.

The problem is that people don't realize that their personal choices cumulatively result in these religious wars.

The more people that figure it out that all religions are vessels carrying various distortions of the same cosmic truths, the sooner we can reach a critical mass and render religious dogmatism and religious war to the annals of history.
