I know that I've written it before, but I ask again- how can you love your enemy and shoot them?
How can a Christian hear Christ's call to love their enemies and do good to those who hate them, and still support any war or calling that demands that you kill?
I'm just baffled.

The main reason that we began this blog is that we felt compelled to answer the fallacies of many Christians and non-Christians in the arena of warfare.
Frankly, I don't believe that a Christian can obediently be involved in any war- not just the Iraq War, or the Vietnam War, or World War II.
When we live as Christ lived, we take on the mantle of love and sacrifice and servant hood. More often this results in our being used and abused than anything else, but we are being used for Christ.
With such a public arena as the blogosphere, how could we not stand up for something so obvious and so misunderstood? Our greatest weakness is that we don't say more.
If you feel this way- if you follow Christ- love Jesus, and seek to be obedient- and you hurt for the wrongs Christians do in the name of Christ, and you have something to say about it, we would like you to join us as contributors on this blog.
We are aware of our own imperfections. We will not be bothered by yours. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by people that walk in the Light and Truth.

Christian love does not come from the end of a rifle, or the control of a drone, or the joystick of a bomber.
So here we are years later and it's sad to see such little activity on any website that proclaims Christian Peace. It appears that the world is facing the prospect of war on a scale not seen for decades, perhaps ever. Yet the voice of Christ is woefully absent.
