And we have often discussed that when murders occur in small numbers it is called a crime and it’s punished by justice, but when murders occur on a larger scale, they are not punished, unless you are on the losing side.
Heinous massacres have gone down in history like this or that, but the person that ordered these massacres has been deemed a hero on many occasions and has received recognition and awards for his deeds.
And they still go to bed at night satisfied that today they performed God’s work. But is the following list, really, God’s work?
| Mongol conquest | 5,000,000 dead |
| Napoleonic Wars | 6,500,000 dead |
| American Civil War | 625,000 dead |
| Spanish Civil War | 500,000 dead |
| World War I | 9,911,000 dead |
| World War II | 61,000,000 dead |
| Korean War | 3,500,000 dead |
| Vietnam War | 3,900,000 dead |
It is well known (Sun Tzu doctrine) that if you want to avoid having to face the next generation of your enemies’ worriers, the most effective way is to destroy the offspring.
Many campaigns (like the infamous Biafra campaign of the Nigerian civil war) resulted in the complete and utter extinction of the opponent including women and children.
Or is it something completely different? Something in our genetic make-up that we have never thought about? Could it be that we have been programmed to slaughter each other as a method of controlling population overgrowth?
If this is really the case, then the current booming of the population should come to an end and pretty soon. This is an awful possibility to consider. If we are indeed driven by some kind of manipulation to reduce our population to more manageable numbers, then it might not be long before we experience the Third World War…
And based on the mathematical analogies from the previous wars, we are talking about casualties in excess of 150,000,000 people dead as a result of the battle operations, bombardments, and sieges, and an incalculable number of people that will not be able to reproduce afterward due to the aftermath.
These thoughts can lead to another horrific conclusion. For the religions that stipulate expansion through “blood and fire”*, this is truly God’s work. If that’s true, then we worship the wrong Gods.
Why is it that the worst massacres in human history have been performed by Christians killing each other?
Unless, of course, it is God’s work and God’s command to control the population overgrowth that is hidden in the sacred texts and no scholar has ever even thought of it.
* “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Surah 9:5)
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Surah 9:29)
“O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty.” (Surah 9:123)

I would define modern war as a major government crime that is contrary to any spiritual ethic and violating all man-made religions (Thou shalt not kill, love thy neighbor). But because Earth's religions are man-made and do not come direct from spirit, they include much fanciful nonsense mixed with the their wisdom. It amazes me that church-goers continue to vote into power and support such evil manipulators financially. Apart from the bayonet, all modern weapons are chemically based. One of the worst has been 'agent orange' because it deforms successive generations. Part of our problem is financial greed of those in government and of arms manufacturers (currently supplying munitions to the warring factions of the Middle East). Government controlled news channels are heavily censored, but Internet and whistle-blowers reveal all. These will be our ultimate salvation, as world-population becomes properly aware. Governments will have to comply with world-recognized logic or go.
Chemical-based weapons means different thing. Rifle is not chemical-based – rifle is kinetic-based. Artillery is not chemical based – it's shockwave impact-based.
Gunpowder is chemical based....
There is a correlation between wealth and family size - people in poverty tend to produce large families which speeds up population growth. If we as a global community were able to have a fairer wealth distribution and raise the living standards, it would do a lot to slow population growth.
Did it ever occur to you that the wealthy spend more time creating wealth than children? Perhaps we should spend less time punishing those that CHOOSE to earn, and more time educating those that have nothing better to do than create offspring they have no means to support?
Has it occurred to you that wealthy people aren't being PUNISHED. Those owning the most power over Govt, Wealth, Industry and resources also control the economic opportunities for the working classes?
And as for having NOTHING BETTER to do besides having sex and human relationships, is also regulated by the govt and churches...through several means by access to healthcare and socioeconomics.
States take away children from parents unable to afford care for themselves and children..
Ultimately, wealthy create their Dynasties and reproduce to have defendants to carry on generations, not for their desire to LOVE others.
Just like Kings and Queens and the European Empires...and control over the NEW WORLD of AMERICA using BANKS.
As harsh as truth sounds to the civilized human ears, it is a fact that nature in it's very soul is centered around survival. Evolution and food chain being the first examples, it is engrained in the living system to create space and resources for survival and the only way to achieve the same is by compromising lives. Accounts of historical epics depict wars and the massive destruction of lives, be it the Mahabharata where Arjun is coaxed by Krishna the protector and nurturer kills his own kin; the battles of Odyssey and Iliad; the World wars or even the modern day military sieges of countries and resources, wars have always proven to be a method of purging the Earth of massive population as each war erases tons of lives. As crude as it sounds, to this day, every war, stemming either from religious/ political conflicts or personal/ racial odds, if we can open up our minds to the ultimate results and overlook the grotesque details of lives lost, we can see the much needed balance reinforced by nature in the process.
As good and bad takes precedence in the civilized human minds, we often tend to forget our core existence on the planet as basic fauna life, and it is not a surprise that we, in our own ways, are forever attempting to climb up the ladder of existence, erasing weaker life forms as we go by. It is practically no different than a male tiger killing cubs when the forest area is low on prey animals for the predators.
This is total BS, please read Bhagavad Gita as it is. We are spirit soul whi ch reincarnates, based on good and bad actions. Therefore returning to unfinished business until the lesson is learnt and only then move on

I agree that war is a form of population control, but why are you bringing God into this? He doesn't want to see people butchered like animals, I think you confuse Him with the devil. Devil was the puppeteer behind the World Wars. Who says God ordered this? It's just what people who are responsible say to make the mindless followers agree to everything. It's like the devil's motto, to portray himself as a holy one, that's why he calls himself an angel of light while being a wolf in sheep's clothing. As far as church, it's obvious that it's just an another devil's tool so don't mix the Creator with church either.
God says God ordered this.
Hebrews 1:1-14 KJ
"
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Thou art sinful for not giving God his dues!
