Yeah. They twist it in many different ways. And I know that chrisitanity looks down on violence, but thenthe question is, why is it the army fights. To protect freedom, but not religion? I could never get that. I am not saying that I am not grateful for the men who put themselves on the line, I am just sayig that I am not sure that as Christians, and Americans, we should have to resort to violence to solve all our problems. I don't think it is right to kill someone because they believe something else. Recent war on Afghanistan in general. I know it was wrong what the terrorists did, but we fought back. Sure we were angry, but we killed not only the enemy, but innocents too. It was too much for me. We can even look back into the past. Revolutionary War, Civil War. (don't even get me started on the civil war.) As americans, and supposed Christians, we fight way too much. Why not do as Mohandas Gandhi? He fought for what he believed in, and didn't draw a drop of blood.

Oh yeah, and Strider, Hitler Youth as your title. WHAT???
