So we have a president who is a Christian fundamentalist. Many of the people who work for him are Christians as well.
I am a liberal progressive. I am also a Christian.
Since when is going to war a Christian value?
The Christ I worship said in his final commandment to his apostles before he ascended, "Love one another." No qualifications, no limitations, no exceptions. In fact, he cautions his followers to treat everyone as if they would treat him, because they will never know when they are having an encounter with an angel.
Where does war fit into this picture?
Yes, of course, there is always war. People fight for power, and people get hurt.
But Christians are caretakers, not destroyers! And that includes every life.
How ridiculous it is that on one hand we have people who are zealously trying to protect the unborn, even unconceived, children, yet think nothing of taking people who are already here and sending them off to death.
Fight your war, if you want to. But don't you DARE call it a righteous war, or one that God condones.
