At the same time, people could grow up and evolve spiritually and stop killing each other just because their masters tell them to.

Becoming "as little children" is not the answer because they are innocent with no wisdom.

I don't think we are made from dust. Our bodies are perhaps. But our spirit is eternal. We are not merely our bodies.

The Jews the New Believers and the Arabs untill around 666/667ad got along fairly well.

The Dome of the Rock The Jews say the Rock thats in thier is where Isaac was to be sacraficed and the Arabs say Ishmael.

The Arabs when they started war against anyone not islam was when they say Mohammad assended into Heaven where the Dome of the Rock is.

Mohammad seems to be when real problems start. Jerusalem has been a Holy site for a very long time.

It was Salem to begin with.

Gen 14:18-20

Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said:

"Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand."
NKJV

This was after the Slaughter of the Kings. A High priest of Jerusalem was apperently well known and Arabs and jews alike and new believers claim Abraham because he got the Promice his descendents would be as the stars of heaven.

Everyone wants and claims this promice.

The Dome on the Rock and Jerusalem are Holy to several Billion people. But if you look at History the Jews and Arabs did not go at it untill the Koran came into existance from Mohammad I would assume.

Yet the christians did the same thing in the crusades claiming to kill you was doing you a favor and everyone else. they got this from a small verse in the NT.

John 8:24
24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
NKJV

I am not completely sure this is the verse the Pope used to burn people to death but i am sure it was something like this. The Pope though used this that if you did not follow Romes way of The Religion it is better for you to die than live so they tried burning people at the stake that they could be saved.

Milions of people were killed if they did not follow Romes edicts.

Looking at that modern Islam has killed alot less people than christianity has.

Both use certain laws verses to justify killing. No better way to kill in the Dark ages than with a uniform wiith a large cross on the front of it. I am sure it made people feel better huh.

Killing in the name of any God or religious agenda is EVIL.

Yea I agree JB

I don't believe war is over religion anymore.
Sadly, even though that was bad enough, truly
my instincts tell me it's more about the elite
of the world making money off of war.

For several years now, they've used the media
to propagandize and make people believe that
other humans in a different country we've never
been to are evil and corrupt. And sadly still
this brainwashing still works.

I don't believe everything I see on TV anymore. ;-)

Good, so you have just recently woke up. They have been doing this for many years.

As you can see by my icon picture, I've decided to go back to sleep. To hell with all of them.. zzzzzzz

war is about two philosophies,,

1: we want to keep something

(our power/authority/privilege/wealth/territory,,,etc,,etc,,)


2. we don't want to lose something

(our power/authority/privilege/wealth/territory,,,etc,,etc,,)

doesn't get simpler than that

I'd been awake for a good while now. Hope you had
a good nap.

I think that pretty much covers it, MS! Well put!

When to get to a certain age, naps are good.

The rest of the time you just sit on the porch an watch the world go by.

I'm 41, and prone to naps throughout the day
sometimes. Haha!


I saw you're profile. You're not that old.

-Agree! :) HUmans are bOrn with differences and conflicts and iT's all normal to Us as a creation of GOd but the main point of it is On hOw ''WE'' depend on God's dealing and leading for us.

It depends on the war you're talking about.
Some wars are about religion.
Some wars are about pizza.
Other wars are wars for control of Mountain Dew against those darn Mountain Dew stealing aliens.
And some wars are just about war.
Every war has it's own reason.

War is just a big fight. There is no 'solution'. Religion is just a popular basis for culture clashes, but by no means the only one.

The 'solution' to 'war' is to just say NO.

Say no to the military.
Say no to killing.
Say no to governments.

JUST SAY NO.

Sorry, Jeannie. A combination of high stakes and disagreement will create conflict. Someone will say 'yes'... millions will in certain circumstances.

So true.

You forgot number three.

They have something we don't have and we want it.

truer yet.

Yep, like oil.

Land, energy, gold, water, etc.
