God of War

Funny how many American Christians today talk about "our war with Islam" when in WW2 we were at war with Christians.

If one thinks about it, war is war no matter what religion is claimed. It makes no difference if one is fighting for control of industry or a pipe-line, religion is always immaterial and superfluous ( a god is really never that much involved when everybody has a version of deity on their side, anyway) Land grabs and mineral rights are the true gods of war.

"Hitler's Germany amalgamated state with church. Soldiers of the vermacht wore belt buckles inscribed with the following: "Gott mit uns" (God is with us). His troops were often sprinkled with holy water by the priests. It was a real Christian country whose citizens were indoctrinated by both state and church and blindly followed all authority figures, political and ecclesiastical" from Hitler Was Not An Atheist by John Patrick Michael Murphy
