I think this topic has been pounded on pretty well in the [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=175218|past].

Without being more quantitative this time, it's difficult to make progress on it.

Should we start a table?

Conflict ........... Cause
Tower of Babel ..... ?
...
Trojan War ......... Lust
...
WWI ................ Hubris (?)
...
Iraq War ........... Hubris/Greed/Idealism/Stupidity/Etc.

?

Cheers,
Scott.

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

I hope you don't mind if I don't read this. I don't know if it's going where I don't want it to be going, but if it is going there, I *don't* want to go there, so the best place for me to be is here, not there, and here is where I'm staying.
