Thread: CNN Special - God's Warriors

*sigh* The only real path to peace is Unity in our ideas and beliefs. Most likely everyone will eventually become godless, their beliefs based on science.

so you think the only way we can have peace is if everyone believes the same thing and thinks the same ideas?

I believe even in the midst of unity in one idea, while prolonging and perhaps lessening conflict, war will come. There are too many minds in the world, first off, for this to logically happen even in the distant future. Many believe along this line though.

Muslims believe in worldwide Islam. Hence holy wars and conquest.

Many Christians want this as well. I don't know why since our own Scripture tells us it won't happen, and many of the attempted conformity is on the line of being war-like between themselves and another person. This is non-Scriptural.

Many atheists want to eliminate all religion, thus worldwide atheism.

Some of the new-age religion (Cosmic humanism) want us to unify in the universal consciousness.

I think a human beings lust for power, status, rule, and land to call their own will always cease unity. While many wars were religious based, I'm willing to bet these were caused by power-lust on a human level, and less to do with the actual context of that religion.

Yeah, that's a very... evangelical... point of view .

I look at religion the same way as I look at race: We should learn to embrace our differences.

Well said. ^__^
