Wars Caused By Religion

People’s range of thinking seems so short, if not trivial and banal or puny. When they are told that the history of war in this world has been mostly due to religion, they deny it by mentioning that there were quite a few wars that happened which religion played no part. It had never, however, occur to these religious morons that religion has nevertheless done nothing to ameliorate the conditions that led to local or global wars.

Look back half a century and witness the role played by the Catholic Church in aiding Nazi Germany. For example the German church opened its genealogical records to the Third Reich so that a person’s Jewish ancestry could be traced. Not a single German Catholic, including Adolf Hitler, was excommunicated for committing crimes against humanity. And Hitler often claimed he was serving God. In MEIN KAMPF HE SAYS, “Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance of the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jews, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” Poch Suzara
