hear hear. Look at any conflict in the world and invariably it comes down to two things: control of resources and ideology. One is the goal, the other, the motive force.
It amazes me how many people who follow religious dogma which supposedly place human life as a most fundamental value can so easily kill or maim to protect and promote that dogma. I am dumbfounded that any Christian can fight in any war regardless of justification. Last time I checked, the first words the Christian God wrote to man were “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and I don’t think the ‘fine print’ had been invented yet.
Thank goodness I found Atheism.
And thank you, Bob, for a valuable sentiment which transcends faith.
Happy and Peaceful New Year (according to the Christian and Islamic Calendars) to all, regardless of your faith in God, Science, or Self.
