As long as people believe in absurdities (inconsistent with reason) they will continue to commit atrocities (cruel acts)

The quote belongs to Francisco María Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1779) One of the greatest philosophers form XVIII century. Voltaire is a deist and aspires to demonstrate the existence of God by rational means, in opposition to the mystical-religious doctrine of revelation; an essential demonstration of the existence of God is, according to Voltaire, the perfect construction of the Universe. This famous phrase, about the irrationality induced by the dogmatic belief that religion and the church imposes, particularly opposed to superstition, prejudice, and fanaticism. Though his beliefs were direct critics to Catholicism, nowadays it is believed that Islamic syncretism can also be explained through his point of view, when interpreting the Coran, justifying the “sacred war" (the Islamic Jihad) against impure ones, by God’s Word.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
