Questions for theists

[Lion IRC]

Watertight logic and reason. Unassailable. You're just too good. I give up.

Said the person who didn't bother to refute his actual claim.

The claim that "wars are caused by" the absences of alliances?

That doesn't make sense. Alliances typically RESULT from the looming threat of war.
Smaller countries make alliances to guard AGAINST the stronger threat which covets their territory, their food, their women.

Anyone who doesn't understand the preventive power of detente or the consensus of mutually assured destruction, or doctrine of pyrrhic war needs to read some history books.

It is the selfish, competitive Darwinian mechanism of survival which makes two primates covet the same thing and the only moral consideration is the one which an atheist named Friedrich Nietzsche appealed to. Not God. Self.

The Gospel of Jesus, on the other hand, transcends Dawkins and Darwin and Nietzsche and rejects selfishness and greed and the law of the jungle.
Jesus invites us into His divine concept of cooperation.
A threefold alliance - me, my neighbour and God. (Matthew 22:37-39)

Sure, there are lots of different flavours of 'ice cream' but there is virtually universal agreement on the claim that having ice cream is better than having nothing.
