I never suggested that war was over..I sure wish you would stop picking as little points like some little ptulant child. Cant you put together a cohesive argument.

You through out some silly question like

Does "civilization" require religion, or is religion sometimes the antithesis of civilization?


and think that it wins your point. Questions dont win arguments.

I would first off argue that war does not settle religious differences except in that one might be wiped out in the process. but since in my opinion wars are not fought for religion but rather for control of resources you point falls flat. Religion may be the dividing line between two oposing sides. But the war is fought for control over resources=wealth=power. It is not fought over religion. You may figh for one side over another because they share your particular interest/religious perspective. But that doesnt make the war ABOUT religion.

Religion is not the antithesis of civilization. It is at the heart of it.

Men will not willingly go out to fight and die without some moral reason.

It would be a classic mistake to ask troops to fight and die for resources=wealth=power.
