Hello fellow liberty lovers & anti-statists, this is Keith Dixon again. In this entry, I will point out why the mainstream religious are hypocritically invested in unfortunate bloodshed. You seem to think I'm just speaking about just Conservatives, but the bluntly honest fact is that some moderate Democrats and even some "mainstream" libertarians are on this destructive bandwagon of "national security"--even when it contradicts their faith directly. So you ask, what are these dangerous contradictions these pro-foreign policy supporters have regarding religion?
Here's one--the most irrational & dangerous mix of hypocrisy right here.
Exodus in the 20th Chapter, 1st verse--"thou shall not kill"
But what exactly is foreign policy? In my assessment, the main core of foreign policy is military personnel. And don't they take orders from a supposedly from a mainstream "Judeo-Christian" President? YES. And what they order the patriotic troops to do? KILL THE ENEMY! Wait a minute--does this not VIOLATE one of God's supposedly main commandments? I say an absolute YES, without question!!! What I don't understand is how these "children of God" gullibly support the troops when they broke God's commandment regarding the verse of Exodus 20:1...which one is it, folks--God or blind patriotism? Don't tell me the 2 go together because God is a God of peace, not violence--the very thing the State enforces on the troops to gain coercive power over another country and the desired "worldly" resources.
Verse #2: "You cannot serve two masters--you must love the one and hate the other".
But what does faith in God and faith in the State that endorses the immoral Military Industrial Complex? SERVING TWO MASTERS--the very thing that God told his children NOT to do--but yet people think that verse does NOT apply to them. Well guess what--IT DOES!!...and another one of God's rules broken yet again by your blind support for the military. I really don't see how these foreign policy-supporting "Judeo Christians" can sleep at night knowing they're blindly supporting 2 masters, that ain't gonna get you into "heaven".
Verse #3: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself".
But isn't blind support of nationalism for a country sparks one to spread unnecessary hate, jealously, and despair across the world "loving your neighbor as you love yourself"? Absolutely NOT. In reverse, it's showing the exact opposite which is HATE. This is another confliction of worship that all of those foreign policy supporters from the religious community have to live with...in addition, God also hinted that those who support murder in any kind will have "bloodshed on their hands".
...this is my short conclusion of the obvious hypocrisy that the mainstream religious regarding their blind support for the military, knowing that "bloodshed will be on their hands". Which one is it, religious folks--God or Patriotism? Remember, you can't have both. God said so himself. So choose your master wisely or face the prospect of NOT making it to heaven. If you choose to be religious, you can't just pick & choose the verses you want to follow. Either you're with God all the way or you're not. And if you are, you cannot support murder in any way--even if the State punishes you for not doing so.
