Causes of War
War is an openly declared state of organized conflict, most often characterized by extreme aggression, societal disruption, and high mortality. As a sinful world, warlike tendencies are found in all species. The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare. When there is an absence of war, it is called peace. War generally involves two or more organized groups or parties (often, nations). Such a conflict is always an attempt at altering either the psychological or material hierarchy of domination or equality between such groups. In all cases, at least one participant (group) in the conflict perceives the need to either psychologically or materially dominate the other participant. Wars most often begin with a conflict in religion, feeling of superiority to others, and acquiring of wealth. From the beginning of time, God knew everything that was going to occur. Throughout the entire Bible God tells us that while we are on this earth, our sinful natures would drive us to war. Until He comes back, we will be at war with each other. For example, the Nazis hated not just the Jewish Religion, but also Christianity. They invented their own form of "Christianity" one that was controlled by the State. They did this because they wanted total control of all aspects of the people's lives, otherwise they feared a revolt. They refused to allow places for people to gather in groups and talk yet not be under State control. Nazis clearly hated other religions that did not believe as they did. It drove them to an attempt to conquer the entire world. Secondly religion is an important way people organize themselves and their lives. Groups of people often categorize themselves according to their denomination or religion. Since the groups defined themselves by their faith, when they got into conflict, over trade, power, money, land, or other non-religious issues, the conflict would take on a religious dimension and spiral
