I just watched Prince of Peace - God of War by John Campea. I recommend it. It's a documentary wrestling the question of pacifism and of just war.
My recommendation is:
Don't go to war without first watching this documentary.
Before today I had conceded to the concept of just war. That concept has been weakened by watching the documentary.
Maybe we're called to take a spiritual perspective and absolutely never use lethal force. I can't really lead myself to believe that totally though.
But then, why isn't it as simple as "Love your enemies" therefore do not kill them?
Riddle me that, all you fellow armchair philosophers!
