Why do we select warrior gods who can only grow theirreligions by violence, --- instead of persuasion to a better way of life?
Is our love of God and War connected due to being theepitomes of our love of drama?
People tend to do what is rewarding to them. We are apleasure seeking species. War, as the epitome of drama, is a condition that humankindis forced to suffer because our instincts force us to seek the fittest. To us,that is either a god or a king; or whatever word or name you give to your epitomeof whatever type.
Men controlled, by their two main passions, love and war andlove of God as an ideal, have used war to seek a male God from the moment menset matriarchy aside 5,000 year ago.
We naturally seek the fittest and to us, that means we are drivento war.
We men are responsible for 5,000 years of advancing God withwar.
Granted, we have used war with some skill and advancedsociety and its wealth, but we have yet to reach the ideals that matriarchy andGoddess rule reached. Not by a long shot. Wealth, when produced by war, isbasically gained forcing the citizens to suffer. We lose both income and positivelifestyle, as well as; the more important, human lives.
Men get a fail mark in finding God and cannot do better fromwhat women did before them. I think all real men of honor and duty would confessthis reality.
A Gnostic Christian first recognized and coined the saying,”that for men to continue to do the same thing, while expecting a differentresult, is a sign of insanity”.
