So I am a member of a group on Facebook for Dessert storm vets (Yes Pacifist vet here) And this guy makes a post saying lets pray for America because god can make it right. Lets just say I chimed in and no matter what I said God is good. This guys even said at one point that all the soldiers over there died because God decided it was their time to go. I just hate ignorance God does not create wars Man Creates Wars

I agree with you.
There aren’t any gods in war!

My family has a dessert storm after we eat at the Golden Coral.

MAn creates wars, and most often in the name of their religion. It is merely a BS excuse to kill their version of the infidels.

Isaac Asimov wrote a very good novel with part of this Schiller quote as the title. In spite of the reference to the gods, Asimov was a famous and outspoken atheist. You can't argue with willful ignorance. Thanks for serving.

God is a great deflection and/or rationalization for many. It allows them to not confront any uncomfortable reality or to personally accept any untoward thinking.

I agree with that statement it was The war that made me question the reality of God in the first place

@DavidGreen1 - I was never a big theist. By school my belief had been minimal. Over the past few decades an incredible amount of the world violence centered around religion. Very odd-considering what is preached.

I'm not a vet, but imagine that if I were, I would feel like the sacrifice I made and the risks I took were being pissed all over because this implies I was just some fungible commodity, another body who just obediently puppeted his way through the war and survived or not because of the whim of some sky wizard.

"God" sure is a great Cop Out for so many, I find it just an Excuse for ignorance in most cases.

I would throw a wrench in that logic with "If someone decided to commit suicide did God decide it was their time to go?"

I did my best to convince him but you know how brainwashed they can be
