Could You Be An Asshole? Holy War

"Verily, Brethren, I Say Unto Thee That It Pleaseth The Lord That We Smite These Fuckers Royally."

It’s not a crime to want to seem more intelligent than you really are.  There are a great many ways to affect this which are not only effective but also appropriate, such as wearing glasses, carrying an NPR tote bag or bringing up the New York Times more than once in a polite conversation.

Just as there are appropriate ways to feign intelligence, so also are there inappropriate ways.  Chief among these are statements designed to sound intelligent to other idiots, but break down under a smidgen of scrutiny.  One such canard is the oft-heard assertion that “all wars are fought over religion.”

The Almighty Wants No Part Of This.

It is absolutely true that religion is the cause of all armed conflicts, with a few notable exceptions: World War I, World War II, the Vietnam Conflict, the Soviet Revolution, the French Revolution, the Indian Wars, the Chinese Revolution, the Russo-Japanese War, the War of 1812, the Gulf War, the American Civil War, the Italo-Abyssinian War, the Cuban Revolution, the Korean Conflict, Sino-Vietnamese War, the Franco-Prussian War, the American Revolution, the Crimean War, and far, far, far too many others to name.

Not Only Did These Evil Fuck-Monkeys Wage A Decidedly Unholy War, But They Took It To God's Chosen People.

The so-called ‘Jesus Wars’ of the early 1970s were not at all religious in nature, but rather a series of bloody turf-battles between Los Angeles gang leaders. ∞T.

War: What It’s Not Good For

aggression, apologies to Edwin Starr, conflict, fundamental truths, Hallmark Cards, LEGOLAND, News of the Duh, trite statements, understatement, war, War is not healthy for children and other living things, War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!

By Smaktakula

A surfeit of schmaltzy Hallmark Card sentimentality cannot alter a fundamental truth.  Observe:

Is There A Way You Can Say This That WON'T Make Us Want To Go All Thermonuclear On LEGOLAND?

As much as we’d like to, we can’t argue with this.  If anything, the image’s creators are understating the complete havoc which armed conflict can wreak upon organic matter.

Good God, Y’all! ∞T.
