I would say that more wars have been fought over religion. ideology.

What says the hive?





Edited the post due to a poor choice of words. Religion is an ideology but not all ideologies are religions.

A group of wealthy individuals at the top of society and government looking to enter the history books at the same time they increase their holdings.  

The other side usually responds to the aggression, and you get a war.

What ever the reason (power, money, religion, political philosophy or what the fuck ever) just remember that the 'politicians' don't go to war, just your kids and maybe you.  Need someone to feed the beast after all ..................

Guess you never read about the Roman, Greek, or Persian eras. They started war for power, among other things. Religious Wars really didn't start getting kicked off until Constantine came in the picture in the 4th century.

Basically. Religion or other forms of symbolism for the people to excite and gather support is how it's been done for centuries.

I would put religion in first place. Resources = money, second.

Here's why:

The actual boots fighting on the ground, will fight harder and more ferociously for God. Than they will for low gas prices at the pump...

Not saying war wouldn't happen if we didn't have religion/ideology, but it certainly would lose much, MUCH of its fervor...

And yes, for all intents/purposes, communism pretty much can be characterized as a religion.

The answer is almost always power + loot + opportunity.  In the instances you can point to where religion is involved in war that war would have most likely happened if you removed religion from the equation.  This is coming from an atheist.

I'm going with this. All the Haji's are always running around mad at the world because they don't get enough pussy. Well, female human pussy anyway, they might be getting plenty of goat pussy?? IDK.

If they had more bikini's and Miller High Life over there, they'd cheer right the fuck up.


And then look at Russia. You ever see a handsome Russian? Fuck no, you haven't. You just know those guys are under-fucked.

Even if you're an Atheist I think you'd agree on this metaphor. "If you ever want to meet the devil all you need to do is look in a mirror."
