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"

I didn't ask to be saved, I'm not fighting in any kind of war, these people need to go fuck themselves.

Ok, I was ambivalent at the time I wrote it, but later I did note that I am not sure it was or wasn't, but that religion plays a part.

If every single Ukrainian converted to Muscovite Orthodoxy tomorrow then there would be no war since they would all agree with Putin since the Church is on his side. They would become Russians.
It's a land grab but religious wars are also (sometimes) about land grab. I was reading the article on Wikipedia about Religious Wars and some consider the Yugoslav wars in the early 1990s to be religious wars which were similar to the war in Ukraine since it was about Serbia trying to take lands in Croatia and Bosnia, but it also involved religion.
Now this shows that religious war is sometimes hard to define, but I would not say that necessarily wrong to call the war in Ukraine a religious war, especially if Putin is trying to establish Tsarist Russia. Tsar is supposedly chosen by god and his land was given to him by god.

According to the bible, it is the devil who offers you ownership of the land. God just wants you to wander around like a lost hobo for forty years.
Therefore, modern land owners are devil worshippers.

It is clear that at least 95 percent of the world's population should not be having children. But I can't support something as immoral as abortion. Most people should either be sterilized, or convinced that they should not be having children.

Funny this should come up just as I'm reading Saturn's Race.
