I believe, my dear, that you are confusing war with events that are sincerely and obviously religiously driven, to the very point that religion can be shown as the culprit for stated events as having occurred.
And, to be honest, does the church not offer guidance to those in power? If the church was truly so holy and so opposed to war, since Jesus was such a pacifist, then would the church not offer advice and guidance in such a way that war was avoided?
The church has forever been corrupted, from within.
Ancient history, my dear. You believe what you want about the church and the religion of men and of atheists.... but God hasn't weighed in Himself on anything yet. People either do God's will, or they don't. No church or religion is going to save anyone from justice.
I believe everyone is in for a surprise. Everyone.
