Without religion, there'd be no need for war.

I despise religion as much as the next man, but this isn't strictly true.
Nationalism, revenge and greed can also be very good incentives to war.

Is all of the font sizing and coloring necessary?

Yes, but most major wars in history were started based on the principles of religion and beliefs.

MY apologies if you find the use of Font Size and Colors upsetting. Most of the time I do it to clarify a point that has been overlooked, but in this case, I felt the need to emphasize my interpretation of a point of view that was being intentionally skewed by some of the people who are posting, and chose to reply in a way that would be difficult for them to misinterpret.

Some were. Many weren't. WWII wasn't, for example, and I think that counts as a fairly major war.
The war, arguably, kicked off properly when the Germans invaded Poland and the Allies declared war on them. Hitler may have been using an exaggerated dislike of the Jews as one of his rallying methods but the war itself didn't start for religious reasons.

However, if religion didn't exist at the time, he would not have invaded Poland, and arguable wouldn't have even come into power in the way that he did. It still ties back to religion.

How? If religion didn't exist at the time, he'd have found some other unifying factor to get Germany behind him.

Religion has caused a lot of problems, but it wasn't Hitler's reason for invading Poland.

I think the fact that he was a political genius may have ensured his rise to power regardless. After all, once in power he very quickly lifted the country out of the worst recession in Europe. Unfortunately, like many geniuses, he totally lost it somewhere along the line.

Yep, I'd even argue that he took things a little too far, in some respects.

I didn't even bother reading it - any post like that is not really worth it. In fact with the different sizes of letters it is harder perhaps to grasp what the writer is saying.

The point was lost to me.

The point was lost to me.

I am pretty sure that the point did not go above yopur head Vassago, but I am not sure that I am presently able to say the same about the others.

The point was that ONLY an EXTREMIST would refer to killing an animal as MURDER. The Human Animal is an Omnivoire, and that means that among other things, WE EAT MEAT. In order to get that meat, we need to kill a few animals along the way, so that remains a necessary evil in order to continue the species.

Feel free to read it again if you care to, and you will see the point that was made.

I agreed with the point you were making but I felt the font size and colours detracted from your message.

Ditto (it brought back memories of TimBrewer )

Capital letters are marginally better than massive coloured fonts. At least I read it this time.

I conclude you need to get a life. Although namecalling on this site is an American pastime, and Ken being the expert, you are on the right thread to try it.

One day, you may be as good as Ken at it. I'll tell you when. . . . . but I'm not holding my breath.

Oh, I like the bit in your sig "please remember to show respect for people who provide an opinion that differs from your own" - how do you interpret that?

Actually, Nothing I said indicates that I do not respect the views of others. I was pointing out the flaws in the arguments of some of the people who did not respect the views of Ken regarding hunting.

It doesn't really matter anyway. Ken enjoys killing things, so nothing is going to stop him getting his kicks by blasting the brains out of some innocent animal.

If he couldn't get his fix by killing animals who knows what he may do.

I think Colin has been getting his fix killing the bottles in his liqour cabinet. Murderer!
