For centuries we as humans are living this lie. That we are fighting in the name of God.
once and for all, can we all be honest?
Can we all admit that we have been laying our lives down for nationalist fervor, self interest, strengthening own security, expanding empires, gaining economic advantages, looting or plundering resources of others, proving superiority over other humans, massacring millions ... and the list goes on.
Fine, if that is what we want to do as humans. Let us accept it and be clear about it. All animals do what they can or have to, to protect their territories. By instinct and intellect, we are animals after all.
Then, let us not bring God in the midst of all these ungodly games. Let him be a bench warmer (by not invoking his holy name) when we play these war games.
Keep him on the side lines just to cleanse our souls.
