My best friends view of humans and war is pretty gloomy. He says the only way to end war is to for human beings to no longer exist. I was wondering what the Yahoo.Answers community thought about this?

As long as we live in this fallen creation, there will be wars. Some wars are necessary, for defense of families, or societies, or such. Many are not. There are wars because there is always someone who wants more, who wants what you have, who wants what everybody has, and will do anything to get it.
A One-World government will not end wars. It will simply wage war on its own citizens or subjects or whatever. If you look at the history of the previous century, you will see that more people have suffered, died and been persecuted at the hands of their own governments than in wars waged between governments. What worries me about a one world government is that when it becomes a totalitarian nightmare and starts murdering anybody who disagrees with it there will be nobody else to step in and put a stop to it. The only thing that stopped any holocaust, or any of the genocides, or even the inquisition has been the intervention of a saner, outside force. There will be nothing to check the One World government, there will be no accountability, there will be no balance.

I don't think it's a curse of humanity so much as we are simply doing what apes do - territory, warfare, possession, being top of the pack - these are all traits of the gorilla.
I think the evolution of humans has to move further - probably a lot further - before we'll see anything like the end of war.
Shame though - wouldn't this be a great world if we didn't fight all the time?

Maybe. There is a ancient city in south-east of Iran. Its name is Burned City. A representative of a lost civilization in 5000 years ago. This city was surrounded by 70 villages and 40000 graves. Many things has been found in those graves. But there was only one killing tool. A dagger, in a grave in which the corpse didn't have a head!!! Once upon a time it was possible to live without war and killing tools.

Christians are human too. some would substitute into provoked into speaking vulgarly. they do now no longer mean to and for myself, on each and every social gathering I talk some thing foul, I at present day ask forgiveness. information I suggested some thing that God does in assessment to, promises me a great experience of guilt. i assume it somewhat is the version in a Christian and a non-Christian. We do have a feeling of maximum appropriate and incorrect and attempt to stay in accordance to the way God would choose us to do. each and every person sins and a few extra constructive than others, yet by skill of utilising being a Christian, we've a forgiving God. Oh, and particular, some Christians have from habit in the previous starting to be to be a Christian cursed great time. it somewhat is tough for them to break the habit over-night. each and every person would desire to need for ability to triumph over the thoughts of sin.

First of all, not everyone wants war to end. Your peace filled utopia may be my stomach turning hell. Second of all, these wars are merely growing pains that will eventually lead to a unified Earth. One World, One People, One Government.

As long as two men live, the potential for war exists.
