Funny – on Friday Christians are cheering Republican Warhawks for wanting to make war on a nation that hasn’t attacked us and shows no immediate intention of doing so, but on Sunday we will all sit piously in our pews feigning reverence for the red letters in our Bible where Jesus said “blessed are the peace makers.” I’m not a pacifist, and to be honest, I used to succumb to some of this same mentality myself. It’s sort of a team spirit mentality that believes my team is right no matter what so “let’s go beat the other guys.”
Thank you Darrell for helping us look in the mirror and be faced with our own hypocrisy.
