I've studied the religions - all of them - for years. Currently working on a PhD in Old Testament Hermeneutics. Nothing in the scriptures of any religion excuses the behavior of warmongers, although as with any issue, the followers will selectively interpret sections to text to justify their actions. War is always, always about greed and control. If you want to know why people are fighting, follow the money. Nothing explains the US/Iraq war better than knowing the 39 Billion dollars was paid to Halliburton.
