War solves nothing

All wars are madness. That people would chose war is insane. Don’t respond by listing “reasons” for war, because there is no shortage of such justifications. It is not reasonable to prepare for or engage in war.

All around the globe, people are killing each other and destroying each other’s homes. I see one thing in common in all of these conflicts. Each side believes they worship a loving and just god. I’m sick of it. To hell with god.

If your god cannot end war, he is impotent, evil, or a delusion. If your religious leaders preach anything but peace, they are charlatans who will mutter pieties at your funeral. If your government cannot end war, it is incompetent or serves only the profiteers. If your people cannot end war, they do not deserve you. To hell with tribes.

Make peace. If you cannot make peace where you live, then leave that terrible, hopeless place. Does it make more sense to leave one’s home for a job than for peace? How is a place worth your life? Be one less victim, one more to escape the madness of war in the name of god and tribe. Perhaps when the only ones left in that terrible place are madmen and profiteers, they will simply kill each other and there will be no innocent victims in the way. To hell with warmongers.
