world peace

Are wars caused by religion?
Jesus teaches us to love our enemies, to do good to those who hate us, to pray for those who despitefully use us and persecute us. The old testament says that if our enemy is hungry we must feed him, if he thirsts we should give him drink. If his donkey falls down under its load we should go and help. The Samaritan helped a man who was his traditional enemy. Jesus said, "go and do likewise."
True Biblical Christianity is the world's hope for peace. It is a tree which bears good fruit, like the abolition of slavery within the British Empire. It is the countries with a Christian heritage that are the desired goal for refugees today.
The "them and us" mentality that sometimes erupts between different factions or sects has nothing to do with real Christianity, but arises from the sinful nature of the natural person who has not received the holy Spirit of Christ.
Evolution, by contrast, is a tree that bears evil fruit. Neitzke, the German philosopher, read Darwin and built on this root to produce his theory that there is no Heaven to gain, no Hell to fear. Hitler read Neitzke and gave it to Mussolini to read. He set out to help evolution along by creating the master race. This meant elimination mentally retarded people and Jews. The concentrations camps were one of the fruits of evolution.
By their fruit you shall know them.
