Do you believe in war?

Question

I feel that mankind is inherently evil. We are fallen sinful beings who look out for ourselves only. This creates tensions when our ambitions and desires don't coincide with others. Thus we fight. When we have large groups siding with one another, we war. Wars have been going on since the beginning of mankind. But do you think they will ever cease to exist? and WHY?

Answer 1

War is simply organized aggression. Aggression is the result of people making choices. People are sinners by virtue of the gift of free-will. As long as there are people, there will be war-aggression-sin.

Answer 2

how can you possibly deny it? we see such
coverage with the media that it's impossible to deny
that war exists...
However-if the question is "should we fight them?"-
would you rather have the world be run by one evil person
with a bb gun? I think that mankind is NOT inherrently evil,
but when choices are made which tend to be evil, they
begin to habitually make bad choices and deny their original
nature of kindness and good. that is when greed and selfinterest
go too far and people fight to get ahead of other people. I believe
that war Will end, but it will only happen after the second coming; there are FAR too many different interests and philosophies to be in harmony without the conscious decision by every single person to watch out for each other...even one pocket thief would begin the cycle of self-importance and, thus, war. As stands, we must defend ourselves and others from those who would kill to become "superior rulers" over others.

Answer 3

I do not believe in war,but mankind does. This country was built on wars. I think people use the excuse that it is for our good and to protect us that they do this. What ever happened to talking? Since biblical times man has wanted to own more land because you get a bigger tax base ,hence more people more money. The same with annexation,more people more money. It is sad to me,but it seems like everything is about money and who controls the majority of it. Some think that with money comes Power. Sad to think,but it is proved every day.Look at all the takeovers and the exporting of our work forces to places where people are paid much lower salaries. All so people can make more money.

Answer 4

I don't believe in war. But as you said it has been going on since the start of time, But I do support out troops in the actions

Answer 5

I totally disagree. I would go to war to defend my home and my children. I would go to war to STOP an EVIL tyrant from taking over (Hitler is a good example) I would go to war to defend my RIGHT to live in a free country. I don't believe in war, BUT PEACE HAD A CHANCE. As long as there are people who want to continue to take over the world and change it to their beliefs (Muslim/Islamic extremists) I will fight to protect my rights.

If someone came into YOUR house and started to take over your HOME, WOULD YOU JUST SIT THERE???? I wouldn't, I fight like hell to get them out.

Answer 6

Hey,

WARS are human created. It is from the ancient civilization. We cannot say that as bad because they had rules in the fights. You know in ancient times they never fight in nights. They never kill ladies and children. But in morden age no rules but only destruction. America leads in this followed by UK and isreal. all country do this in name of peace and they are destroying peace.

Answer 7

DO YOU BELIEVE IN FREEDOM?
Why war, Why you? You are only here now because of the men and women protecting our freedom.
If not for them now or in the past we would not have the great U S of A.
So do you believe in your FREEDOM?

War is inevitable. For those that think wars should be avoided at ALL costs, think again. Maybe you s*cking on Hitler's, Stalin's or Sadaam's d*ck will change your mind.
