I certainly won't start any flame wars over that, everyone's entitled to believe what they wish. I would like to point out though, that the bible (if that is what you believe) outrightly condemns the use of violence and killing many times, that's where the whole "turn the other cheek" thing came from that Jesus was quoted as saying. If your enemy strikes you, as a christian you are supposed to "turn the other cheek" i.e. remain non-violent and non-combatant. Most other non-christian religions of the world also preach non-violence as well, with a handful of exceptions for certain situations.
Not to get into a debate, but God is a God of war according to the Bible. He, God , used the ancient Israel military (Old Testament) to complete His will or plan.
Exodus 15:3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
He is the same yesterday as He is today. Now turn the other cheek deals with individualuality, and not nations as a whole.
God does not condemn the use of violence to protect a nation, we must becareful of half truths. But yes, I agree, a Christian should not be combatan but, meek, humble, and pure.
Romans 12:19-21
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Boobs are boobs, right?
"Boobs are boobs, right?"
Yes, they are. Even if they are man boobs.
I saw you that night Bud, it was a bit disturbing but what really had me wondering was the large bowl of Jello. Oh and you seriously need a tan, after the lights went off, there was still a glow.

Well, my arms and neck and face are tan. Isn't that enough?
The jello was a gift from my waitress. They were changing over the buffet and she asked if I wanted it. Nothing nefarious going on there. I enjoy a good bowl of jello while watching Brokeback Mountain.
The jello wasn't the issue, it's what you were doing to the jello that is alarming

So maybe "war" was the wrong word, but definitely "force"
