Well my point is, why mention God at all? It automatically puts 1. all other religious people on the defensive 2. makes your statement pathetic and completely bullshit to anyone who doesn't believe in God.
This is my main point which keeps getting swallowed up in amongst all these other posts! DON'T talk about God, as if you are speaking FOR ALL OF US. DON'T ASSUME we understand or ACCEPT your reasons, when you include religion as one of them. It basically runs the other way.
I also agree that most wars/conflicts have undertones of religion. It may not be the main reason, but I beleive its a reason it goes on so long.
Just picked out a few, im not very educated on most (i was always bored in lessons on wars) but these are just two that are blinding obvious about religion being a part of the war
Iraq War - How can you not see this has religion as a part of it. Sure they are bring "democracy" to the country, but the reason the terrorists are fighting so hard? The civil war? It's between different religious factions, and there is no mistaking that.
WW 2 Uhm extermination of the Jewish race?
