I don't understand.
I don't understand how Christians can be okay with war, okay with killing, and desensitized to violence. How does it not hurt your soul? How do you not think about Egypt, the exodus?
Since Cain, essentially the beginning of humanity, evil has always taken the form of violence. More violence isn't going to solve anything.
War and Violence do not bring peace.
"Jesus was a Middle Eastern man who lived in an occupied country and was killed by the superpower of his day. The Roman Empire, which put Jesus on an execution stake, insisted that it was bringing peace to the world through its massive military mights, and anybody who didn't see it this way just might be put on a cross." (Rob Bell)
We have to resist ever using power in the form of violence against another human being...regardless of the consequences for your own security.
