A holy war is never about peace or grace. It’s about slaughtering the other who refuses to submit to your religion or ideology. It’s consensus by way of extermination. That’s why it’s a war and not something else. The holy part is just an excuse based on the conceit that the leader of your cult or ideology is somehow better than the other’s. Whether you believe in that god or ideology is irrelevant as long as you say you do to your side’s leadership and then follow their orders or otherwise work to achieve their goals. It’s all a big scam.
