Thread: It's the Karma, stupid...

^ Yeah. I think that would be the "Church", what I meant when I said there were "a lot of bad things you can say about Christianity, especially as an organized religion".

On the other hand, you have the legions of self-flagellating "westerners" who go on endlessly about how bad their culture is for having done what you refer to. This guilt would be part of the Christian influence on our cultures as well.

I don't think the "west" has been uniquely "bad" in its history of warfare, more that it has been unique in the moral and ethical struggles that have taken place within its various communities re: that history and practice of warfare. Oh, and more successful as well.
