I am afraid we may have to get into definitions of war here.

Clearly humans go to war to defend themselves (or their resources).

Can you provide an example of an organized group the represents a tribe, city-state or nation that have gone to war for, how did you put it, "satantic evil". In which the acquisition of resources was not the primary motivating factor?

For me the only two instances where there is even a semblance of an argument that religion was the reason were the Muslims in the 700s and then the crusades. But those were just about power, plunder and control of resources as well.

Good morning.
"Do humans go to war for any other reasons?"

Entertainment? Just for the hell of it, or just because it seems like a good idea at the time?
