War

[resolute]

I'd like to weigh in on this subject, if I may. Biblical doctrine deceptions are not the only deceptions out there. Political deceptions abound. The interesting thing is that after digging through these political rabbitholes, I've come to the conclusion that for the most part, the same wolves in sheep's clothing responsible for perpetuating religious error are also responsible for perpetuating other error. In my case, I'm a baby Christian, but in areas of politics and war, I'm a grizzled veteran. The assumptions that most people make about these things are simply not true. For instance:

1. American soldiers don't fight for our country even if they believe that they do.
2. American soldiers don't fight for freedom even if they believe that they do.

The sad truth is that American soldiers, and most other soldiers, fight on behalf of the 'money changers' similar to those that Jesus drove out of the temple.
For this reason I do believe that it is murder for soldiers to kill people, at least in the case of American soldiers fighting today.

I believe that most people would be shocked how these issues come together with Christianity if one connects the dots. 'All roads lead to Rome', sort of thing.
