Before we all were humans we were Apes, Monkeys etc, Then we were or had become Cave Men after that. That time there was no religion but sure Mother Nature was there, we can also call her our GOD. So we have ONE MOTHER NATURE OR GOD. Then what or why do we war with each other ???
In war there is bloodshed on both sides. On both sides same creatures of flesh and blood die. On both sides there are fathers, sons, brothers , mothers and sisters of sombody on either sides who dies. There is pain and suffering and agony on both sides.
THAN WHY DO WE WAR AMOUNG OURSELF.???
Or is it the way of Mother Nature to control our population so we do not do much harm to other living beings and nature, of whom we do not think much.???
Are we pre-programmed , by some supernatural power to act in this way.??? Are we pre-programmed by what we call "DESTINY"

Wars are a product of greed. And a desire for power. The leaders create the wars. The rest of us are just pawns.

i think it is part of our violent behavior that we are able to destory each other. When one group is able to dehumanize another group for the sole purpose of killing then you can say we are easily manipulated. Think back on the Holocaust. Did the Germans really wanted to kill millions of Jews? I think consciously they might have objected. However, Hitler's propaganda (dehumanizing Jews) made it easier for the population of Germany not react to these violent acts. Now, here in the United States...so many movies and TV shows potray the Middle Eastern person as a terrorist and, therefore, the United States had all reason to invade Iraq and bomb terrorists until we kill them all. Do you see something wrong with this picture? Bush & Co. had managed to dehumanize EVERYONE in the middle east for the purpose of invading Iraq and to have major influece in that region. And what cost? Human lives. Politics, Regional Control and Religion have been the major causes of war and death.
I would like to think that we have our own destiny and that we can somehow control it. I think it is the decision of those individuals in power that have grave consequences to us all.

Humans, along with most multi-cellular life, has three instincts.
1- Survive.
2- Pass on our genes.
3- Give our genes the best chance as possible.
These instincts are the base of all greed. More power means a greater chance of survival and a greater chance that we can pass on our genetics. Therefore, humanity is always competing with itself, akin to all life. This means that, hopefully, the best genes get through and the human species is stronger and smarter.

Good question, Mother Nature...when the world's atmosphere needs cleaning there are storms...ever noticed after a thunder storm the air is sweeter? She (Mother Nature) also covered up the carbons, gases, etc. to keep the earth clean...man uncovered them. To me man is not wise, he destroys things even himself. There is no such thing as destiny, Man causes war to control government spendings and population. War is blood, hurt, frustrations, and greed.

For one, MOTHER NATURE IS NOT OUR GOD AND HUMANS DID NOT EVOLVE FROM APES!!!!!!! No hard feelings, you are free to believe what you wish. That is simply my opinion.
Other than that, you make a good point. War solves nothing. Personally I believe humans war due to stupid arrogance and egotism. Some people feel that by fighting they somehow prove themselves to be "better". This thinking is wrong and does just the opposite.
In reference to the above comments:
Greed stems from egocentricity. We are not pawns of our leaders. If we don't want to fight, there is nothing they can do to make us. The problem is that some people other than officials who DO want to make war. They choose to play the international game of chess. Be they Pawns, Rooks, or Bishops.

Too many rats in a cage produces compotiton. Which shows that a concentated populas with a low resource dence environment produces compotiton. Compotition produces conflict and stress. Enough stress and conflict produces war. Therefore war is needed when too many communities are in an area for them to servive. It also works with relegion, because relegion needs believers to servive. If nobody believes then the relegion is dead.

wow! nice question! i read the whole thing!
well, your view has a point! I will try to answer without involving my theistic believes/ideas.. I think we are not programmed by anything or anyone rather than ourselves. Our [humans] stupidity and ignorance make the earth and the other people suffer. It is because our huge ego,our small hearts and our close minds that we act this fool way..I don't think ''fate'' has something to do with this..Except if you mean by fate the most possible ''future'' who determined by our personality.. xx

Because men are power hungry. Some people just want to have control over what other's think and do. Hitler, Saddam, Kim and other tyrants sought to gain total control and with control they have power.
Even groups of people feel that they have the right to tell others what to belive in. Again...it's somebody always trying to control others.

When we are born, we are imperfect, and imperfection gives rise to selfishness. Selfishness can lead to all sorts of evils, war among them.
Imperfect people cannot fix imperfect people; we need salvation from an external intelligence. In the absence of that, war will continue.
