and i understand that we were created in god's image according to genesis.

like GI Joe action figures were created in our image. doesn't mean GI Joe action figures have our powers.

WW1, WW2, Korean war, Vietnam, American Revolution, War of 1812, Napoleonic wars, War with Mexico in the 1840 and with Spain in the 1890s, US civil war (granted there where religious undertones). Your assertation that most wars are created by religion is completely ludicrous Thrax. The only wars the U.S. has ever been in that can be argued have anything to do with religion are The two we are currently involved in and our civil war.

War is a device for leaders and countries to gain power or settle grievances.

OMG....A GENE RODDENBERRY REFERENCE!!!!!

Star Trek fans all over the world are applauding you happy!

damn we are getting off of track. Monte God giving the rainbow to homos, pretty sure thats the funniest part of this whole convo.

i know sidetracks dont work on this thread, but i will try one again...

do yall think that any other animals share the humans ability to have complex emotions? errr... are there any emotions that humans can have that cant be felt by other animals?

The Nazi persecution of Jews wasn't an underlying or driving cause of WWII?

I think remorse is a human emotion that animals do not possess.

or better yet, do emotions exist at all, or are they simply a byproduct of how our brains neurons are crossing each other?
