War and relegion
can anyone say roughly what percent of documented wars on earth were directly or indirectly based on religion? The "war on terror" could be considered indirectly based on religion for example. Do you think we would have had more or less wars w/o any form of religion or belief in a god?

Re: War and relegion
What, exactly, constitutes a "war"? What method shall we use to determine if a war was wholly or partly based on religion? How are we separating religion from other, related cultural differences?
In other words, the answer to your first question is almost certainly "no."

Re: War and relegion
none of the recent wars have been based on religion.
people always try to say this is the reason for all wars, and if there was no religion, the world would be a happy place, but this is untrue.

Re: War and relegion
Religion is a strong motivator. And I'm surprised the number is only 90%.

also how do u figure the "war on terror" is indirectly caused by religion? [/ QUOTE ] Don't be obtuse. Terrorists are motivated by their religious beliefs.

[/ QUOTE ] im not saying that. Im not saying anything. Im sipmly asking a question. however, the "war on terror" is party based on religion. Most of the "terrorists" that we are fighting are alledgedly on religious jihads (sp?). ill put a jihad on your ass! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
