| to be about love, not just fear. A scared atheist is not a Christian -- just like an angry Christian is not an atheist, just a religious person who is angry at God.In 2004, The Atlantic published a story called "Five Days in Fallujah" by Robert D. Kaplan. There's a scene where a chaplain blesses a Marine unit and compares its mission to Jesus's return to Jerusalem. Have you seen much of that during your years of service?I could go on and on about that. Politicized Christianity is something that is abhorrent to many military personnel, many Christians as well as Jews and Buddhists. It's very dangerous. When Donald Rumsfeld was the Secretary of Defense, leading up to the Iraq War, he used to send World Intelligence Updates with Bible verses on them. On the front page of one of the briefings, he had the quote,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Here I am, Lord, send me. / Isaiah 6:8." Now, if you keep on reading Isaiah, it says this:Then I said, "For how long, Lord?" |
