According to Thomas Paine, it is just and justifiable to go to war under two circumstances. One of them is when the sacrifice of a few men would save masses of human beings and made them happy. The evidence of this can be grasped by the phrase he uses: '... when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy.'

The other situation that can justify a war is when troops invade a country and make it theirs. Paine beholds a country as a home, that's why he uses that metaphor to describe a piece of land. The evidence for this statement is when he says '... but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it... am I to suffer it?

On the other hand, he does not believe it is justifiable to go to war seeking wealth. He states: 'Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war...'

Eryptian ideas and beliels

Egyptian beliefs about future existence are not readily defined because the Egyptians are a very ancient civilization, making it difficult to study their religious documents.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The Egyptians constitute a millenary civilization, with several different types of documents and that developed over time.
This meant that the Egyptians had a very wide variety of religious documents.
In addition, the Egyptian religion and society was influenced by other societies over time, which changed their beliefs and culture.

This made the study of Egyptian documents difficult and translated into many different languages, which had to adapt and simplify many concepts, which often left the Egyptian beliefs imprecise and poorly defined.
