So who created more wars?
The Bible or United Nations
A lively debate I love hearing
especially from the university crowd
is that the Good Book and religion, in general, have caused more evil and war than any other belief system.
Well, thanks to AI, I went and fact-checked it.
“How many wars have occurred since the founding of the League of Nations”
If you are not aware, Woodrow Wilson established the first version of the UN, which was referred to as the League of Nations
The AI result:
“By most academic counts — using datasets like the Uppsala Conflict Data Program and the Correlates of War Project — there have been roughly 250–300+ armed conflicts of varying scale since 1920, and over 150–180 since 1945 alone.
The tragic irony is that the League was created specifically to prevent war through collective security, yet the century following its founding has been among the most conflict-saturated in recorded history — though the nature of war has shifted from massive interstate wars toward civil conflicts and proxy wars.”
This century has seen Communism and a decline in religion so i would assume that mass death and wars would be down as I was mansplained by every University professor and student.
And since that’s only been about 100 years, I wanted to go back another +100 years to know how many wars occurred before that going back to the founding of the United States.
You know, the country founded on:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
The AI result:
“The number: By academic conflict datasets, there were approximately 150–200+ significant armed conflicts globally between 1776 and 1920, with many smaller colonial skirmishes pushing the total even higher if counted individually.
The AI finished off its results with a misguided conclusion:
“Character of war
1776–1920 Empire-building, nationalism, industrial-scale slaughter,
1920–Present: Decolonization, proxy wars, civil conflicts, asymmetric warfare
The period leading up to the League of Nations was defined by the romantic and deadly myth that war was a legitimate tool of national greatness — a belief WWI’s industrial carnage finally began to shatter, at least temporarily. The League was born from that disillusionment, even if it couldn’t hold.”
So there you have it.
A United Nations not beholden to a higher power
built instead on Nietzschean might, Communist atheism, and economic incentives
did not create peace.
It just rebranded the bloodshed.
A more bloodier world and without a higher power to believe in and have leaders stop the bloodshed
Which, some would say, Trump TACOed out. But I would say is cautious of human bloodshed.
Anyway, that’s my AI trip for today.
Now let’s see if we get a market bottom.
Today’s morning TV show was powerful.
Have a good day,
