STATS.....This is mind blowing.... See why we NEED JESUS

This came from the Canadian Army Journal back in the 1970s.  This gives some intersting figures and it reads like this:  Since 3600 BC the world has known only 292 years of peace.  During this period, there have been 14,531 wars large and small; in which 3,640,000,000 people have been killed.  The value of destruction would pay for  a golden belt around the world 100 miles wide and 33 feet thick.  Since 650 BC, there have been 1,656 arms races, 16 of which have not ended in war; the remaninder have terminated in the collapse of the Countries concerned.  Since the world has cast out the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ, by cruicifying him 2000 years ago, there has not been one year without war.  In fact, in the last 500 years, England has engage in 78 wars, France 71, Netherlands 23, Spain 64, Austraila 52, Germany 23, Italy 25, China 11, Denmark 20, Sweden 26, Poland 30, Russia 61, Turkey 43, and Japan 9.  European nations have alone engaged in 74 wars.  During the lifetime of the first generation born in the 20th Century, even the United States in its relatively short history has engaged in 13 wars.
