More From Terry Pratchett

To have security against atomic bombs and against the other biological weapons, we have to prevent war, for if we cannot prevent war every nation will use every means that is at their disposal; and in spite of all promises they make, they will do it. at the same time, so long as war is not prevented, all the governments of the nations have to prepare for war, and if you have to prepare for war, then you are in a state where you cannot abolish war.
War Mean Responsibility
I abhor unjust war. i abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. i abhor violence and bloodshed. i believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. i respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. i advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and i should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.
Bullying Strong War

Spiritual Believe Other Worlds
It ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. it ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. it ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. it ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. i’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name - modern slavery.
Talking Common Humanity Names
The war on terror is the most insane and immoral war of all time. the americans are doing what they did in vietnam, bombing villages. but how can a civilised nation do this? how can you can eliminate suspects, their wives, their children, their families, their neighbours? how can you justify this?

I am for the people of the whole nation doing just as they please in all matters which concern the whole nation; for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part; and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.

Jesus almost never talked in terms of explaining. he was always using enigmatic stories and difficult metaphors. he was always pulling people into some kind of participation.

People are very hungry for something new. i think they are interested in being called to be a part of something larger than the sort of small, petty, slash-and-burn politics that we have been seeing over the last several years.
