@mikezephyr the first step to world peace, whether or not it is a reasonable goal, is getting people to understand that.

I really dig that actually. But as they say, man can't live on bread alone. There's music, art, beauty too. Not just fucking, or eating. That's what makes us human.

@mikezephyr Maybe there is no human nature or human condition, but there is the condition of nature, which is that everything must eat. Human action is based on the need for individuals to eat and reproduce. Politics are established to ensure that at least one group of people may do so. To live another way entirely is fantasy.

You seriously don't understand Fela and Femi Kuti's message then.
There is no abstract and unchangeable "human nature" or "human condition", which certainly comes from religious thought, there is only human action which is the sum total of historical social relations. You can live one way politically, or another way entirely.

War and violence are a necessary consequence of the human condition. A condition in which freedom and choice is greater then both good or evil. Though both are required for this freedom to exist.

imagine the work you could get done if you'd spend the praying time on work as well...
peace would be closer around the corner if it wasn't for religion and its "divine" influence.
