Cassi,
IMO all death is sensless no matter if its by Gods command or mans.
You should be addressing that remark to Yeru, instead of me. Afterall, it's him who wears the military uniform. Do you know how to spell P-R-E-J-U-D-I-C-E ?
Schizm
Did I not say that all death is senseless? When you realize where I live and what I do for a living you may say my morals are skewed as well. But Yeru and I are sister and brother of sorts?that?s the way I see it. He is a military man?I counsel military/civilian personnel. I live on a military base all in all I live a military lifestyle. I do not agree with everything Yeru says or does as I know we have gone rounds in the past?this I can tell you he is a man of conviction and that I respect him for.
He is willing to die for his country/beliefs ( and countless other countries as well, die to assure people like Hitler could not continue his killing spree) giving up his life for his countrymen?that I respect him for. I hate war, it IMO, is senseless just as God killing babies is senseless act. This killing has been going on for thousands of years?what have we learned? Has Gods ?lessons? changed anything?
Your argument makes no sense IMO because you try to justify killing ordered by God; brutal acts of violence commanded by a God who tries to teach his children lessons. Remember the bible says we were made in Gods image. Therefore our actions will reflect that of our maker. He taught us killing was ok to teach lessons, as his children we have learned killing is ok.
Just my .02 cents.
