So, the first and second world wars along with the Civil war was fought over religious beliefs?
Someone needs to brush on their history.
Admit it, your antireligion, plain and simple.
Is not the same as
"Why is it every war has been started over religious beliefs"
Religion becomes a part of war because it's used as a means of justification, or self-righteousness: our god, being the only real god is on our side because we're the only ones who got the god thing right. Religion correlates with war in this way
The underlying causes of war are greed, power, or in very rare cases, self-/other-defense.
As for the redistribution of wealth, that only works if finances are used to enable people to thrive in their own right, so again it's a muddling of cause and correlation. For greater equality we don't need to redistribute financial wealth, but power and opportunity resources.
Civil wars are often caused by difference of opinion.
The only religious wars I know of were the Popes Conquests.
The OP being in Australia, I presumed he was speaking in the Australian context, we don't really have a class system as such. We're all middle class if we choose to be, or we can choose to hit the drugs and booze and be lower class, or get out of bed early/work really hard and be in an affluent class.
Did you know that the vatican state doesn't pay to the italian government billions year on taxes?
Moving forward,religion since it invention in the year 0 was created to drive the masses and wash the brains of the people.
Now days any religions is nothing more nothing less than fanatics belonging to different cults...
The true meaning of religions has gotten lost over time cos we humans tend to forget that the past always teaches the future generations.. and humans today rather than learn from past mistakes make up manipulate what was written in the old religious text for personal convenience.
Just like the Pope and the vatican do!!!!
Its my humble opinion that religion has to be strictly personal and religion cannot stick its nose on state affairs for personal convenience.
Think muslim countries have been fighting each other and killing each other for something like 600 years maybe more so whom comes on top of that war can call himself the rightful torch bearer..
Leaving behind a lot of bodies..
In the case of Israel and Palestina aint a secret that palestinians want to take over the state of israel..
Aint a secrets that palestinians have started the war with israel and surely they wont give up until the world take pity on them and palestinians are gifted with the state of israel given by some fools sitting on top of everybody....
Religion the one preached its making a mess world wide!!!
Good Morning
I read your comments on Forum, and your profile.
There are two questions, one your have drawn
your own conclusions about and the other is also
noted from your profile, so it is more of a complaint
or pet peeve.
I agree with both observations.
I hope you keep blogging, and
share more of your thoughts.
