Name one war that wasn't fought over land and resources.

i could name several :wtf: but i was agreeing with you


historically, most wars were started under the guise of religion to conquer, enslave, genocide others. i'm saying it wouldn't be possible w/o religion, greed and poverty.

One day religion may not exist. Greed and poverty will always exist. There's nothing you can do about that. And as long as those two things exist we will kill each other.

This is also a lie. Less than 10% of all wars in recorded history were started or fought in entirety under the 'guise of religion'.

Sorry to inform you, but this is a lie. The reason you won't find them is because there's no 'Atheist' box to check when you're put in prison. The closest you'll find is 'No religion' or 'No religious affiliation/preference'......

What Percentage of Prisoners Are Atheists? Pew Forum Offers An Answer

article is misleading because it doesn't have a racial breakdown. that 10% could easily be 1% of black men.

you haven't really disproved anything. plus, i just pointing that most of these bangers that go up the river are usually religious.

I understand exactly what you're saying. But this draws upon a point I made earlier in another thread; you can't attack the symptom but deny the sickness. The sickness is the lust for land and resources (power) the symptom is the tool used to justify the aggression. If you strip away religion, you still have that lust. You still have that greed.

You can choose not to subscribe to a religion or higher being, but you're fooling yourself if you think eradicating religion is going to solve even a quarter of the world's ills. Religion has been such a great scapegoat that it actually has fooled people into thinking that human beings aren't naturally greedy and selfish.

Again wit da scapegoat. :snoop:

Dere's dis lil thing called influence. And wit influence, it has da power to make people do/react to things a certain way. Now add supernatural additives to dat influence. If i've been told since birth dat anybody who doesn't believe in da deity i do and/or follow da customs i do...then dey are evil and da things dey do in THEIR culture is evil. Now multiply dat by millions. Put power/weapons in their hands and tell em those same people who you were told were "blasphemous savages" since birth are da enemy. What do you think's goin to happen? lol i mean hell look at today. You've got mufukkas in da gubment trynna dictate what a woman can do wit their own bodies because of some "moral" a.k.a. relgious belief system. So cmon already wit dis shyt breh.

lol and oh goin back to your "land and resources" deflection.....what do you think is behind some of those riffs...especially ova dere in da middle east over land was about? Last time i checked it kinda had somethin to do wit a land "god promised our people" right? Or am i wrong? Lemme know. :manny:

Really need to dead dat scapegoat angle mah nikka. :ld:

show me some sources because i'd like to know how they measure it. even solely religious wars hover at ~20%. not including political wars that were also fueled by religious beliefs.

so yeah, educate me bruh.
