As Voltaire was supposed to have said:

As long as people believe in absurdities, they will continue to commit atrocities.
(and I don't just mean religious absurdities, I mean political absurdities too!)

Yes its one thing to say that all the ills of this world are man made (which is true) but divine intervention wouldn't go amiss

Re: What is the difference between faith and religion

I don't have a religion, I used to have faith in humanity but, I'm losing that rapidly.
The only observation I can make is that neither makes you a better person only you and your conscience cam do that.

I am not sure we would all like that - when God intervenes he often does it in ways that leave the human race teetering on the edge of extinction and I have no reason to think he would allow anyone who hates to live if he did decide to mete out justice. So both sides in the recent horrors may get a nasty shock.
