Some people believe that ‘there is such thing as a just war’, whilst on the other hand some people don’t.

Personally i don’t agree with this. There are two main reasons to my answer and they are due to :

  1. My religion
  2. Disharted families / Many deaths

Due to the fact that there are many Christians around the world, there is a section of them called Quakers. They believe that killing is wrong no matter what the costs are.

One of the ten commandments is “Thou shall not kill”. This is a quote straight from the bible saying that no human being should kill. This quote is saying that no matter how big of a reason it is, it is not right to kill. By going to war you will immediately brake this commandment as war is a place where blood is spread and where many lives get taken away during battle. God gave us a life and in return he expects us to return him the favour by listening to all these 10 commandments. Just how God gave us a life, God can also take it away from us. I believe that only God can allow people to start a war.

The other reason why i agree that ‘there is no such thing as a just war’ is due to the amount of deaths and disharted families there will be before, during and after war. As long as there’s war between countries thousands and thousands of soldiers are going to lose their lives. War is a place where no one should go. Innocent people die fighting for their country, for trying to make their country a better place. They should not have to go to war. Soldiers family members will be at home thinking about that one man that has gone to war and they know perfectly that any soldier could easily die. Who can guarantee the family’s that there uncle, brother, cousin or even dad will make it back home alive? No one deserves to go to war no matter how bad the reason is.

This essay shows why I agree that ‘there is no such thing as a just war’.
