Man's Inhumanity to Man: Statistics: Genocide

by Mike Corthell

We kill each other because we fear death. We kill to preserve life. That's kind of sad and funny...

   What is the common denominator in six thousand years of genocide? Is it Atheism? Insanity? Faith? Money? InWe kill each other because we fear death. We kill to preserve life. That's kind of sad and funny...convenience? Demons? Greed? Gluttony? Destiny?

   Yes, it's all of the above and more. What can end murder? More laws, more prisons? More human evolution? Alien intervention? Jesus Christ?
