not true as soldiers aren't all bad or religious but I know what you mean.

Religion convinces Christians to discriminate against and hate transgender and gay people. Not to mention convincing Christians to vote for an immoral, racist of questionable intelligence. And many of those Christians would seem to be genuinely good people otherwise.

I think religion and nationalism are the two primary forces that twist good intentions into evil actions. It's what sets up the us-vs-them mentality with authoritarian regimes (God or government) mandating and manipulating behavior and belief through propaganda and shows of strength, and promoting a notion of in-group superiority. As soon as you can separate the "other" as being lesser — less moral, less human, less civilized — the easier it is to treat them as though they don't matter, leading to all sorts of atrocities.

Cool

They made a good show about an evil person. Count Dracula. He impelled people. But they made a hero out of him in the movies....ugly!

awesome. The same message as the Old Testament, seems to me
exact same
