instead, why not man up like alexander the great, and conquer people because u want to, not because "god told u to".
in no way do i support war, unless its completely necessary. id rather talk things out like civil human beings if possible. however, sometimes war is necessary if its for the betterment of the people

im fully aware that we humans are dumbasses who will probably one day destroy ourselves. im just saying that religion fuels the fire.
