middle east

hi guys
i am new to this site. i was born in lebanon at the end of a 15 years non stop sectarian civil war. the war came back for a few years and then it stopped. but the main problem remained, i grew in a country where people hate each other. the politicians here are still the same for the past 30 years. they make sure the sectarian hate remain in the country so they can steal the government's money and of course they can remain in the same position. we have 19 sect in this country and i can tell you that each one of them hate all the others. oh,.. i was born in a christian family but at the age of 17 i realized that all of this is a lie. people here have no sense of humanity to the other party. a month ago a car bombing happened in a shiite ( muslim, shiia) region in the country and many people died so the people in another sunni ( muslim, sunni ) region started celebrating in the street and distributing sweets to the people !!! all this left no room for improvements in the country. the only remaining culture in the country is the war culture. religions destroyed us and our country and it can't be solved in the near future. because the surrounding country are a bit similar to us at the south borders we have israel, jerusalem to be more specific. all the religions in the middle east or maybe in the world wants this land. this is causing more stress in the region. well i'm an athiest and i realized that religions is blocking the way for evolution and killing people ! don't you think this should be stopped ?

thanks for reading, i thought i would share this with all of you
( im sry for my english maybe its weak but im working on my writting skills )
