Well a lot of misinfo and jumping to conclusions here... The reason shrines and tombs which are venerated are destroyed is to stop them from becoming the object of worship... In essence it becomes idol worship... Now how would our creator take it if we started worshipping bricks and mortar?
Was anyone worshipping those places? Or were they just sitting there? I can understand them destroying statues etc (considered idols) but who is worshipping the burial grounds of ancient prophets?

I know, I have heard it all before.
The world would be a better place without religion, yet obviously it is not any different one way or the other.
Without religion and the morality, the belief in a higher order to which we are answerable then the atheist geopolitics and economics would take hold, human culling and forced sterilization to control population and dispose of the sick, weak and unworkable drones comes to mind, now maybe we already have this but on a much smaller scale and perhaps the anti religious idiology is being peddled with the intent of removing this hurdle to such absolute NWO style control of our destiny's.
So I genuinely think the opposite, the world would be much worse off without religion except for the ruling elite, the problem is we have a babble of religions and the one in question in this thread is not a good one at that.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
