The main thing with religious wars is....

That it's not religious, most often it's people who are either cynical and power hungry or extremists to the point of beeing heretics to their own faith that use religion as a way to gain followers that they use to get the power they think they have a right to.

It's just ignorance.  People who don't study other religions have an easier time dismissing them as violent or barbaric, without an understanding of their true natures, their history and development.  Islam is just the most convenient target for that kind of thinking in the US today.

Just as most of the world outside of the US see you as a greedy bunch of hypocritical, genocidal maniacs with a self-victimizing complex and way too many guns per capita than what's healthy.

Same with me, its the mechanics that's interesting, taking apart, putting together and see that it works ;D But it's always nice to work with things that's the top of their kind right? :)

And my oppinion is that if a nation has to use it's armed forces and a soldier has to use his weapon, then they have all failed long before that happens.

Bara, organized religions are a lot like governments.  They can be just as riddled with politics and politicians.  Thus, you can end up with power-hungry people leading.

Because all of the religions want to prove that their God has the biggest dick. Applies to international politics as the American "Bigger Dick Foreign Policy." For evidence, see George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

But that's only true for zealots/extremists who in some cases want to proove their aspect of a single god has the biggest sinch that is the only 'true' aspect of the only 'true' god... Like the jewish, christian and muslim fanatics.
