Role of Religion in Wars
War started long ago, long before we were born. Even the Bible states that the first war happened in heaven when Lucifer wanted to take over the place of Jesus Christ. From the Israelites fighting the Palestines in the Old Testament to the Christian Crusades to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims, one of the great paradoxes of history is that war and religion are inseparable.
Though few people in the United States think the alliance forces against Iraq are fighting for religious reasons, most find it impossible to separate their views of the war from their religious backgrounds.
There was not a war about religion, but when people need something to help them, they call God, and so religion is always a part of war. And it is true because in their speeches and proclamations to their troops, both George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein call upon God to help their cause. In mosques, churches and synagogues around the world, millions seek divine protection for soldiers and loved ones involved in the conflict.
Another heavy argument that can prove that war and religion are inseparable, is he statement of the Jesuits that, “they were the one who planned the World War II.” Jesuits is one of the greatest religious sectors in the world. The wars are just the game of the rich people who want to get richer because they are not contented with what they already have.
Although, religion and war is an inseparable pair, I can say that they aren't a match made in heaven.
So, let us just stop the war. And go to
