re: #238 Dangerman

i heard of the French and Indian War
the mexican american war
did i miss the great Native American / Christian War?

You must have: though it dragged on for a bit: from the attacks on Jamestown by the Powhatan confederacy in 1609 though the last battle at Wounded Knee in 1890: maybe not a formal “war” in the stock historical sense; but a conflict that flared up and settled back over the centuries, but never really went away. Till 1890.

So the religion with the biggest standing army wins?

Basically, throughout history? Yeah.
