I must be misunderstanding you. Are you suggesting that we will always wage war because of god or the bible? This would suggest that religion is the reason behind war, and thus a world free of religion would be free of war. Is that really what you mean to say? I somehow doubt it.

Laws and dogma haven't. In my flowery world, however, I take real steps to stop not just the war, but all war. I don't know exactly how many people I've talked out of joining the military. I don't know how many times I've been out on the street protesting. I don't know how many times I've written someone in power, trying to get them to understand they need to be responsible. I can't say for sure what impact I've had, but I know it's more than zero.
Cromp: war is wherever there is a state of violent, large scale conflict between two or more groups of people (wiki). When you were bravely doing what you did in Iraq, you were at war. When you were doing hat you did in Afghanistan, you were at war.

If you want to talk in circles about stuff you don't care about, go right ahead. Do it in another thread, please.
