I do not want to convince Christians to work for the abolition of war, but rather I want us to live recognizing that in the cross of Christ, war has been abolished.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The world has already been saved from war. The question is how Christians can and should live in a world of war as a people who believe that war has been abolished.
I know the established Christian theology... I know the enemy, but the enemy doesn't know me. Thus the enemy has already lost the war.
I'm not one of those who wants to purge our society of our Christian history.
We don't need holy wars. What we need is tolerance and brotherhood and simple humanity.
We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job.
War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.
My church has an historical emphasis on peace, but we can't enjoy peace without honoring the blood our soldiers shed for it.
War is something of man's own fostering, and if all mankind renounces it, then it is no longer there.
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
War is America's central liturgical act necessary to renew our sense that we are a nation unlike other nations.
