Just naive. Like saying the bible or the koran is "just words" rather than the foundation of societies and the cause of wars.

It _is_ just a collection of words though, it's people that take it very seriously and get offended that start the wars. Had they learned this credo when they were young, they might not have escalated it to war. Anyone can just shout words out, you going to get offended at everyone ?
