"Soldiers are required to kill. Yet every bible at my home tells me

not to kill. No exceptions. It does not say it's okay if you wear a

uniform, carry a state-issued weapon or are just carrying out orders.

In our churches we fail to make this distinction. By our endorsement

of military service, the church joins the veneration of those who have

been killed in the state's wars in the past. In so doing, we

implicitly tell each other that it's okay to join up, go to new

places, meet new people and kill them. Provided you have the sanction

of your government, the church will bless your unholy pursuits. I have

a problem with this. My bible tells me I will be accountable for

everything I do. It does not matter whether I did it wearing a

uniform, or carrying a badge." (11/15/07)

Holy Wars

Strike the Root

by Mark Davis

 

"But violent Christians have become the worst because they should know

the truth about love and yet openly forsake it. ... Most modern

Christians are simply cowards that do not have the courage of their

convictions." (11/14/07)
