"War is a declaration that faith in humanity has been collectively abandoned."

"War is like two siblings fighting in the same car on a road trip. They exchange punches because one of them moved their arm onto the other's side. The parents are the moral authority who repeatedly tell the little brats to just get along, but the siblings refuse to take heed to good advice."
In this analogy the parents who are supposed to be the moral authority could be seen as God and Jesus. In my family, when my sister and I would fight in the car, my dad usually played the role of Jesus and Mom usually assumed the role of God (Though not always). When fists started flying and voices were raised Dad would usually be the one to say something to the effect of, "Do unto your sister what you would want done unto yourself." My mom, who would be God in this simile, would be the one to say, "I shall smite thee if you two do not stop fighting!" I love road trips.
