Why do christian nations claim their religion and their people being so moral, yet never forget to go to wars?

Answer 1

Ever heard of a term "hypocrite".

Answer 2

Hypocrisy. Fanaticism. The belief that a Holy War (as in the Crusades) somehow justifies killing people in the name of a God. This self-deception is not unique to Christianity of course.

And of course religion fuses with patriotism in an unthinking way when there's a war to be fought, and humanitarian values fly out the window in the process. The first casualty in war is always the Truth.

As Bob Dylan once laconically sung ...

WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.

Answer 3

Christianity is corrupted by people. People are always the weak link. You are the weak link. Everybody has a choice right/wrong. The wrong/bad way is generally more attractive just like the apple was to Eve in the garden of Eden. The devil works as does God/Holy Spirit.

The arabs use religion as a motivator for their fighters. The USA uses political deception and shitty foreign policy, in reference to the gulf war.

Answer 4

Most Christians live under a misplaced assurance that Jesus pardons every crime and confession can be just a second before death.Actually Jesus redeems people from "sin" and not "crime".No preacher teaches the difference.

Answer 5

Perhaps Christianity can't stand a diverse opinion?
