[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of the problem is that the Abrahamic religions push people to believe that they are special (a chosen people) and that only their system of faith will lead to eternal bliss. Thus, even though Jesus preached against any form of violence, there is almost always violence going on somewhere in the world based on one of the Abrahamic belief systems. [/quote]Yes, Jesus admonished these people:

[i]And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?[/i] — Luke 6:46

Even when Jesus was alive right in front of their faces, still there were people who used religion as a weapon, or to give the appearance of godliness to gain trust in order to run a money scam.

If you murder you are not obeying Jesus. [/quote]

except killing in war is OK, right?  It must be in the Bible somewhere.[/quote]Killing someone who is trying to kill you or those under your protection is not murder, it is self defense. A nation defending itself or allies is the same.

War is also how God judges nations such as in Deuteronomy 9:4

[i]but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.[/i]

It is my opinion the pagan Asiatic peoples of the Western hemisphere were largely destroyed by Europeans is because they were “too far gone” in their wickedness.

I am very certain the destruction of Nazi Germany in WWII was due to Germany’s wickedness and its murderous policies towards Jews.
