Sometimes the text in religious books make me think. Tonight I was reading from the Bible and the Quran. There are rules to why Muslims should fight a war for Islam( defend life and defend land) and when to stop. Then in the Bible it says the same thing in Chapter 10 Matthew. To be honest the rules for war can be approved for both Christians and Muslims. Politics blended with religion. That is a mixture for disaster. In Matthew 10:34 Jesus discusses that his coming was not to bring peace to the world but a sword.

What is the purpose of war? Is war better than peace or used when peace fails to succeed to bring tolerance of each other?
What is so grand about war and violence? Why war? O_O
