I don't understand the equivalency of religion and war in terms of prioritizing over your family. War (leaving out the geopolitical aspects) is at least defensible in the sense that you might be fighting against something that actually threatens your family's well-being. How one could choose a hypothetical magical being over one's flesh and blood loved ones is just mind-boggling however!
Maybe because God is not a hypothetical magical being.
I don't think thats hard to understand

Sorry Iceman, gods are something that might be. There is no evidence for them. They're completely faith-based beings dreamed up by numerous societies over millenia to serve as moral guides (for better or worse) and to explain contemporary unknowns with respect to nature.

I understand you're convinced of the existence of the christian god. However, its still faith. You don't know whether he or she or it actually exists.
Whereas a war that threatens your family and civilization is real and verifiable.

You choose the queens pound over your family MOG, and I'm sure you have plenty of convictions.....
Is everyone who emigrates choosing the pound/dollar etc over their family?

What about people who migrate?

Just wondering
Excuse me for talking while you're trying to interrupt me
