Killing for Jesus

[Dionysus]

A bible verse can be found to support pretty much any position, given enough elasticity in interpretation. When taken as an organic whole, however, it is clear that Christianity endorses love, and condemns violence.

So how the fuck can our majority Christian nation be a war-mongering killing machine?

The Sons of Cain have been in control for quite some time.

Simple; because there are actually a small minority of true Christians.

I think it's important to note the difference between a "Christian", and a "disciple of Jesus".

Perhaps because it is simply human nature, and no religion can ever change that?

True that.
Also because there is a difference between "religion" and Faith.
People with neither often confuse the two.
