“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way...

I served proudly in the US military. But there is something so blasphemous, so idolatrous, so hubristic about identifying our own military power with God's will.
