Many people of the Abrahamic religions, specifically Christianity, have a saying: No God, No Peace, Know God, Know Peace. I cannot honestly be expected to believe that being a Christian will mean that I will know peace when all the Abrahamic cults are warring with one another.
Instead, I'm just going to assume that 'devoting oneself to the highest power' means 'selling out the the ones who won't kill you if you join them.'
Everyone has their own opinion on religion, of course, and therefore, it is impossible to create a world-wide peace when peace is agreement not to be enemies. For example, if a faith requires enemies to survive, its practitioners will continue to kill and maim and hurt others until the faith is dead or every last 'heretic' is no more than a memory.
Besides, organized religion defeats the purpose of free will, if you haven't noticed. That's why I'm the free and happy atheist that is completely stigmatized against any religion that doesn't offer the power to summon monsters based on a pact with the religion's deity.
Final Fantasy has some cool religions in it, ever hear of the Yevonites? Oh, wait, their leaders are corrupt and evil. Ever hear of the Covenant, a religious collective of alien races with one single goal? Oh, wait, that involves the total annihilation of all intelligent life in the galaxy. Star Wars has the coolest religion of all, though. May the Force be with you, always.

Get the Know God, No Peacemug. An accurate word for the POS cranked out by Sony and filled with crappy sports games that are only bought by people who wouldn't know a decent game or system if it was dropped on their nads while they slept. Of course, there are a few games that are an exception to the rule, but they can be counted on both hands. Fuck, the only good games on the system are games that were cloned from tried and true methods of development and gameplay that evolved on better consoles. It is the reason I hate Square Enix, because they made addictive games on the PlayStation, forcing me to buy the damned system. I still think Final Fantasy VII could have been just as good on the N64.... *grumbles on and on about the system's flaws, gets bored, and goes and plays a fun game on his DS...
PeniStation 1, 2, and 3... collectively the biggest douche- and shovel-ware series Japan ever threw up.

Get the PeniStationmug. A bar skag without a bar.
A hideous, nocturnal bar-dwelling groupie/parasite that is at least 2 decades older than its target audience: drunken, desperate young men and middle aged men willing to engage in conversation with any thing they can fuck without it being considered gay.

Get the skig-skagmug. One of the best units to play a no rush game (a game where you wait 5-20 mins before attacking, in contrast to all the little babyback n00bs who zerg the crap out of you early on) with in StarCraft on Battle.net, especially when used with Arbiters, the greatest free online gaming service that has been around for more than 10 years.
person1: dudes, i'm sending Arbiters to the last base, bring the Carriers, Guardians, and Battlecruisers to the warp point!
