am i the only one who finds christian soldiers ironic?

[iamdog]

love your enemies, pray for those who use you wrongly

u misunderstood... a christian's war is not agains sinners (cause u need to be a sinner to be a christian, if you're not a sinner you dont need christ)...The war is against the sin!! cause eternal souls are at stake....and soldiers are needed for this battle

 

[AisforAtheist]

The religious are brainwashed soldiers in their own war......just as regular soldiers are.

They are all fighting for a cause that has been planted in their heads by powers that be. Interestingly...the powers that be stay in their cushy homes/palaces/cathedrals etc. while the soldiers give their lives in order to increase the powers....of the powers that be.

None of this contradicts killing those who attack your country's allies. It does forbid torture and killing civilians.

I find it hypocritical, nothing new there then.
