THE FOLLY OF WAR

"Earth is too primitive. You can flee to new worlds, where war is long forgotten." 

- Kryptonian Elder, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.

"For many years now I've lived among you as a visitor. I've seen the beauty of your many cultures. I've felt great joy in you magnificent accomplishments. I've also seen the folly of your wars..." 

- The Man of Steel, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace

In reality over the past 6,000 plus years there have been more than 15,000 wars. 

What has mankind really accomplished? 

First mankind overpopulates the earth, and then creates wars in which millions die. Then at wars end it's back to overpopulating the planet, until the next war.

Mankind is caught in an endless loop of procreation and destruction.

I've heard a Christian pastor tell his congregation that mankind is God's greatest creation. How so?

The Bible tells us:

"What is man that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man that thou visitest him?

"For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor." - Psalm 8:4, 5

Since when is man God's greatest creation?

Mankind has an over inflated opinion of itself. It has gotten so that people think that they are gods; that they are answerable only to themselves. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The day will come when they will answer to God.
