@humbletraveller I don't think it has to do with any god. USA's weather is volatile due to years of climatic change and contamination, and it's unrelated to what happens on Israel. In any case I don't like Israel as a country. I have nothing about indivicual jews, but Israel, at risk of sounding offensive, is modern day's nazi Germany. When every single neighbor dislikes you, you don't burn down their buildings with white phosphorus, you just move.

@humbletraveller He fought for what was his, for his people and family. He fought an enemy that came from his own country. There was no good and bad in that war, just two factions fighting to keep their ways of life. Without the threat of an enemy, he would have probably lived his life in peace.

@humbletraveller Long range weaponry destroyed war.
-
@humbletraveller How so? He seems to be exactly the opposite.
-
@humbletraveller Be that as it may, he fought for what he believed in even though he didnt want to fight the Union at first

@humbletraveller “What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.” ― Robert E. Lee

@humbletraveller Bearing in mind it hurts to move my arms

@humbletraveller Conflict lets humanity focus on survival, on building. It's not a matter of sin, but of our nature. We grow restless if life is too easy, seeking a way to discharge our violent impulses. War gives us the chance to do that, and the destruction brought by it gives us a need to band together to rebuild. WWII for example brought relative peace to Europe for the first time in history. The problem with war is that recently it has become a game of cowards behind desks, rending it sort of useless and more draining than anything else.

@humbletraveller You haven't read my notices then.

@humbletraveller Conflict is, though hard and painful, one of the basis of mankind's progress.
-
@humbletraveller That's basically the basis of the problem. More than one religion encourages preaching and taking on the role of missionary, and if two preachers of different faiths clash, it often ends in discord.

@humbletraveller Religion is a fairly interesting topic to be honest, more so because it has shaped civilization since the very beginning. It's interesting how many religions revolve around the same events, giving a hint that they might have actually happened.
-
@humbletraveller @flamingpandaomg Ok, let's settle this before it escalates. Religion as a topic is fine. It can be brought up. It's just a matter of discussing it from a theological or historic point of view, intelectually, as opposed to a faith point of view.

@humbletraveller lmao alrighty bro.
-
@humbletraveller I wasn't saying you didn't just stop over-reacting.

@humbletraveller There's a difference between how that was brought up and how it was brought up yesterday, and you freaking out about it is worse than just saying nothing.
-
@humbletraveller yeah, everyone has to know that

@humbletraveller Sweet, you should make a lot of stuff and upload it! Just like I haven't been doing at all lately. Maybe I should.
-
@humbletraveller I do, but I haven't made / uploaded anything.
