  Brian, the quote you make is not from the Gospel.
  
  Stuart, the Protestant and Catholic fighting in the German Thirty Years War is said to have caused the death of two thirds of the German population, either through war, mass killings or famine as a result of sacking and looting.
  No historian blames it on Jesus. You keep mentioning religions, but I did specifically write "the Christian Faith".
  
  As for WWI, I can't see how people on all sides would not have wanted to prevent it from starting, or at least to have finished the war much sooner, if they had had a democratic vote on the issue.
  We must realise that the Christian Faith and Democracy are all-important and never cease striving for a Society where no-one can lead us into catastrophe by denying us these values.
  
  I would put the start of WWI down to monarchic Establishments who, although closely related and often cousins with each other, treated Society like a game of chess.
