      Shit, it’s the problem over there too…

      They literally all worship the same God but too many people are still wanting to kill each other over the details

      It was true when Emo Phillips said it, it’s still true today.

      Even if one religion dominates large sections of the globe, over time it will fracture and create conflict again.

        And the conflict isn’t just between people of different faiths. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre - the holiest place in all of Christianity, where Jesus rose from the dead - has been the site of many fights between the different branches of Christianity who care for the church. Monks beating each other up in the place where the Prince of Peace showed his divinity.

        It’s so bad that there’s been a ladder leaning up against the church since the early 1700s because nobody can agree on who put it there and who should move it.
