Christains in the Military.

[Flaberghast]

From the Crusades to the present Christians have been killing for the "right" causes. But how can Christians justify war? Isn't one of the Ten Commandments "Thou shalt not kill"?

I'm asking this to Christains who are for wars. Does killing people in battle not count?

[Repellant]

Only if they're Hittites or Other People in general.

Those who are not-of-the-book.

[MemoriesThatKill]

Their whole religion is made up of contradictions. What is one more to add to the pile?

[Atlus-sama]

hmmm to be honest,they might see it as defending rather than killing.

[Imaginary Marionette]

My Mom says: Because 'thou shalt not kill' should have actually been translated as 'thou shalt not murder' and when you're doing you're job as a solider, that's not considered murder.
My Mom is a pretty good source, she was a devout christian for the majority of her life.

Good thing I'm an agnostic atheist soldier, then.

It's not changing the bible, it's correcting a mistranslation from the original language.

Actually it's "Thou shalt not murder".

Oh, and there are such things as Just Causes when it comes to war. Still, there were much more bloodthirsty religions, why Christianity?

Are you people that stupid?

“Thou shalt not kill” ( Exodus 20:13).
No you lose. You're both bad Christians for not knowing.

[CH1YO]

Why on earth would you start with the Crusades?

You could have at least picked a campaign that was set about for reasons that were clearly not just.

well in my opinion god sees it as defense,surely he cannot expect for a human to turn the cheek if his family is being threatened.besides god should forgive if it's justifiable.

but then again I'm not a christian so I really have no say in the manner.

The books of Moses are Jew heresy.
