History and the use of religion by political powers
#2
RE: History and the use of religion by political powers
Coming from the academic side, we don't blame religion for war since it's just an excuse. Religion and ethnic differences are merely facades used by the ruling elite to get what they want.

Our view is this: "that side has power and wealth that we want, but we can't use that as the reason for losing so many of our men and women, so we'll just make up a difference and fool them into thinking it's for some glorious reason."

"War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle..."
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
