Bertrand Russell

Ok, so I agree with some things that Bertrand Russel said, but not with others.

I like his idea that religion is a fight against death. That is true, it's a way for people to fight off the thought of dying and there being nothing.

One thing that he said that I totally disagee with is that war is an act of passion, not reason. A lot of times there is reason behind wars. They may not be the reasons that you think, but there are strategetic reasons for it.

I think Russell is suggesting, not that some wars have no reasons behind them, but that those reasons are faulty or inadequate.
