Religion Corner: Justification of War

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

Happy New Year 2012

2011 was full of ups and downs. I graduated school having no job to having a job. Went from having a cheater to having someone loving in my life. Went to White House and back. Life works in mysterious ways( will discuss my lessons from the challenges I faced in later articles). For now, I am sharing with you my bottle of blessings and prayers. I used a wine bottle my loved ones have consumed. I put piece of my praying plant in the bottle has well as blessing I have faith will come in 2012. It is uplifting to believe in better days. I hope you will join me.
