A fundamental of the soul is peace.
Where there is peace there is God. Make your heart God’s throne by establishing peace in it and around it.
It becomes a holy weapon, spread it. Imbue yourself with it and the Fire of the Spirit will be ignited within.
Have no other aim than to make peace, within you and within the world. Be a member of the wave of peace, of grace, of love, of light.

I don't believe in your god.
I have nothing but love and peace in my heart.
How do you explain that?
Tell all the folks killed by religious motives about god's peace. I'm sure they are listening.

Weapon. Peace. Weapon. Peace.
I don't get the connection? Weapons are for war, not peace. One cannot simultaneously prepare for war and prevent it. So why is peace a weapon? What is anything associated with peace considered a weapon? That's not peace, that's a passing calm.

Peace is a weapon of the spirit. He who is in peace wins with ease the battle of life. In peace there is a virtue cultivated.

As much as Tony Stark may declare otherwise, peace is not a monopoly. It is a team effort, a unified front with a common goal that is as flexible as the forces it seeks to subdue. What you are talking about i an iron rod incapable of understanding or reevaluation, that cannot recognize the potential of good, only the clear and strict enactment of that which it understands to be good.
Your "spirit" goes hand in hand with the demons it despises, in my opinion. There's very little difference between blind righteousness and blind hatred.

Then you do not believe in the True God, the One God of All.
Why do you wish to oppose me? I thought that you were peaceful. But if you are being insincere then in your
heart there cannot be peace.
Only that your statements were contradictory.
In as much that you suggest true peace can only be achieved throught the worship of a deity, which is untrue.
although I do not understand your first comment I do understand your second comment.
Your desire is that I justify myself. I am not going to fill pages with that, it's stupid.
Well it is not just the peace that is the weapon, but it is the spirit of God. By aiming to be peaceful and have peace at heart always we allow the Spirit to work through us, and we allow God to speak through us.
The peace is to ward off fears from our hearts and the hearts of others, and establish a sense of peaceful confidence among believers.
