You can't read suddenly? Where do I write God or religion? I stated HUMAN CONDITION. People have pride, anger, greed, gluttony, lust, envy and sloth. Those have nothing to do with religion, but everything to do with the human condition

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.

Sure it is, it is YOUR flowery dogma that convinced someone to not join the military. It is your dogma that makes you protest, it is your dogma that makes you write someone in power.
And for every action you take, there is someone out there that takes the opposite of your action because they too feel impassioned about it conversely to you.
