A group of Jehovah’s Witnesses reportedly destroyed some ancient statues in Mexico recently. This disgusting act of religious intolerance was allegedly performed because these priceless artifacts are “not Christian.”
Professor Luis Perez Lugo at the University of Chapingo nearby said:“I was there, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses said they had done it.”“They said it (the pre-Hispanic ceremonies) weren’t in their Bible, and, in their words, they said it was piggish, garbage that wasn’t in the Bible, and so they went to clear out what was offensive to their God.”

Most religions need to check themselves. Religion is causing way too much violence & strife. I won't even get into how many nonreligious ppl have been killed in the name of god in recent months. Even Buddhist monks are causing trouble these days wth? Belief is one thing, but when you have a large group of ppl with extreme views forcing that belief on others to the point of oppression, injury or death then it is time for us to simply say NO more! Religion gets away with a lot simply because it is a religion. They get special rules worldwide while the rest of us just want live peacefully with the very short time we have on this rock.
To be clear I am referring to all religions, not just the big 3. I am also not referring to simple believers. These comments are more of a political statement & that is my point, Religions should never be political or have a political agenda, but mostly certainly it should never have political power. Jmo.
I am saddened by this & unfortunately this isn't the first or last time this will happen
