WW1 and WW2 shocked people a bit, but the generation that experienced it is almost gone. We should be reverting to our typical behavior about, say, 5 years ago.

It's one of the hazards of cultural relevance. No wars have been waged about me, but that's not because I'm especially conducive to peace; I'm just not important enough to fight over.Originally posted by Whaleboy
Too bad that you'd be hard-pressed to find any war of the last ~2000 years that doesn't involve God.
And yes, I realize I'm feeding a troll here, but I have essays to avoid writing and need an excuse.Comment

War of Jenkin's ear for example? Yeah, that was a fight with a valid pretext....
Blame God, it's easier that way.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

You'd have to be pretty nuts to suggest that religion was anywhere near a major cause of WW 1, WW 2, the Korean conflict, Vietnam, the Spanish-American war, the Civil War, the Napoleonic Wars, and the list goes on. Most wars for the past 500 years have involved religion only peripherally.Originally posted by Whaleboy

As noted already, the correct order chronologically was communist, then tarde unionist, then Jews, and then him.Originally posted by Tattila the Hun
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

I shouldn't respond to this troll, but religious wars have been out for many, many years. Since nations started forming and patriotism has been on the rise, wars have been over culture and nationalism, not religion.Originally posted by Whaleboy

No they aren't. Their style of government is plainly communist, and we all know commies don't have souls.Comment
