Where did I say that wars for other reasons could not have a point? where did I say that there were no exceptions to wars for material needs? Right, never. So how can you state that I said "war was pointless unless it was for material gain"? I never said that.Originally Posted by JPaul
I said wars for material needs have a point, fighting over a man made God has no point.
It is really that simple. You have twisted my words.
That is really immaterial too me though. The only "point", I wish to make is that wars motivated by a belief in a man-made God are pointless.
You asked initially what a war with a point was. I provided an example, material gain.
And I graciously explained why I though religious wars were pointless.
If I believe in a unicorn and you believe in a cabbage, and I kill your followers in the name of the unicorn. You are all dead, and the unicorn still doesn't exist.
If I think you have neat toys and I kill your for you toys, I at least have twice as many toys and enjoy life twice as much, even though your dead.
