Re: The theology of secretary Hegseth

People who go to war aren't laying down their lives for others. They're doing the best they can to snuff out other people's lives - and are generally willing to "sacrifice" the lives of "enemy" civilians to save their own skin. That’s how Mennonites view it but how many in the m...

Re: Biblical case for economics or government style

And apparently, American "Christians" believe their law is superior and that killing Iranians, "honorable" killings in war and killing anyone who gets in the way of their global ambitions is allowed. Wow that’s a heck of a leap into generalized assumptions. We’re talking about a...
