Quote by: Gods_Mercenary  It is odd to convert someone to your own personal beliefs, but then, if it makes you happy, maybe you want to make pthers happy. Wars, however, are rarely fought for completely religous reasons. Even the crusades stemmed out of a purely political concern of the Turk's theft of Byzantine lands. |
Conversion odd? Please. Christianity is based on evangelism. "Depending on how the question is asked, some 25-45 percent of the population report that they see themselves as either Born-Again Christians, or, in the broadest sense of the word, Christian "
Evangelicals." Evangelism is the core of Christianity.
And yes, most wars are not fought for solely religous reasons, nevertheless religion plays a significant role in many conflicts. Folks are still way too willing to kill each other over who has the strongest imaginary friend.
