So, are you a Utilitarian, a Christian, a Muslim perhaps? Well anyway, I want to hear your opinion, your thoughts, your stand-points and your views on this subject.

Can war be justified by your philosophy or religion? Or is it always bad?

And most importantly, what are your views on the current conflicts happening in the world?

That's a very broad post. But let me be as plain as I can be.

Religion = bad

God = good

Do you know what the difference is?

Jesus said, speaking of certain evils in the world, "That such things must come to pass, but woe to whom they come by."

I was baptized Christian and I believe in it but I dont like calling myself christian, because I believe in parts of every religion.I could get more specific but fuck it.....anyway, I dont like war, I dont like politics in religion, and I dont think war can be justified unless it is for defense or absolutely necesary survival, in which case it needs to be done.

Btw..actually fuck it ill explain my belief more in depth later

My philosophy is that I don't really care about war. I'd never participate and the government will lie about the reason for war 99% of the time.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.

A tooth for a tooth leaves everyone gumming their food.

An eye for a tooth, leg and spleen is a better way to go. then they wont whack you again. It's naive to think that world peace can be achieved without a global nation. Just get them over nice and quick, if you can. An eye for an eye and shit just makes wars last forever. It's a game! Play to win.

If God is real, what makes you think he is ‘good’?

You don’t know him. You may think you do, but everyone who claims to have a ‘personal relationship’ with God has a different God to everyone else. God could be a right nasty fuck.

And if religion = bad, why the fuck are you quoting Jesus? He leads one of the worst religions around!
