Throughout most of mans history religion has been the main and primary cause behind most conflicts in the past and the present ones of today. Surely religion is too petty and minute to be a reason for death and destruction or is that just my typical English non-religious view? It’s not that i don’t believe in a god (On the contrary, I’m open minded about most things) it’s just that i cannot comprehend how certain cultures can go to war over religion without any proof of whether what they are fighting for is even true!

 Religion seems to be strongest in the Middle East and lower economically developed countries (LEDCS) maybe the fact that they are so poor is the reason why religion is so important almost like a last resort, something to save and give purpose to their lives, something to hold on too or feel a part of.  Over time the meaning of religion has changed, now it is often associated with conflict and rivalry, instead of the peaceful message it was intended to give. Religious wars are corrupt with money, land, and oil to name a few; with religion acting as a mere front for the real reason behind the fighting. Maybe in places such as Afganistan, if the people weren’t so poorly educated then who nos the conflict might not be so great. How much longer will war go on for?  Forever?

 People say it is an honour to die for their country but shouldn’t the government ensure that nobody should carry such a burden? When,  soldiers fight some people seem to forget that there is a whole lot of killing being done you could argue that they murder they do one of the things which our law states no person should do; take another human life. YES I understand the circumstances are different but all the same these soldiers take lives’, no matter whose side you’re on both sides kill, so how can people criticise one and not the other? It is the harsh reality of what the world has become- destructive; and all the majority of average people can do is to sit by and ponder upon; ask questions, how? Who? Why?

 Industry is everywhere and technology and science is coming on in leaps and bounds and if you put mankind’s ( or womankind’s for those P.C out there) it really is quite amazing at how much we have all achieved which begs the question are there other civilisations out there?  Who are perhaps greater than us and too them we are merely  glorified cave men; or are we indeed masters of the universe who are too quick to let our imaginations run away with us and are we here by coincidence or mistake? Maybe someday we will know for sure, but it is doubtful as we are merely another generation of humans in this world and many are to come and they too will have more questions of their own.
