Well, as I understand it wars are already too expensive for a long time now. The only reason there's war in ME is because of the oil and the motto "that war will pay for itself by selling their oil". That's why there will never be a war with North Korea since there is no money for it and they don't have any oil.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
