Stephen KingI can't understand why people use religion to hurt each other when there's already so much pain in the world.
About This Quote
This is a quote from a famous British actress, Elizabeth Taylor. She was married to the late movie star, Michael Jackson. In this quote she is trying to explain why religious beliefs can be so harmful to people. Religion can cause so much hurt and pain in the world, but this is nothing new.
Many religions have caused wars and hatred against each other for ages. People use religion as a tool for control and power, and it's often used to manipulate people into doing bad things for them. This is something we should really hate and we should try to fix it as soon as possible.
