In my view, any government whose state is perpetually at war, and remains so in spite of initiatives to make peace, is incompetent and unfit and should resign.

How very like humans to pervert a message of love and peace to make it into an ideology of war and oppression to serve their own ends.

Peace with non-fundamentalists terrifies the fundamentalist because to them, being Christian doesn't mean just being 'good' - it means being 'better' than others. Being better that others means having to see them as enemies - and making war on them. The fundamentalist views not being allowed to make war on their enemies as oppression of their faith, or defeat.

Knowing who you are is half the peace of accepting yourself.

Nationalism leads to all sorts of nasty things (even Nazi things) like fascism and war.

The idea that all people can and should live together in peace is not really a new one - but yet in practice it is very young indeed.
