Fighting For God AND Country

“I just don't have any belief in supernatural, any forces - deities, luck, fate, destiny - that's about it really. It's very simple.”

A new documentary examines religious discrimination in the U.S. military. Should American forces be fighting for God as well as country? Here's Susan Spencer of 48 Hours . via CBS News

I think we cannot mix these fighting things, for God or country. When we fight another fellow humans, we don't do it for God sake but we do it for our country's sake/love. We shouldn't kill humans whom we treat as our enemies. They are our neighbors and we have to be good to them coz they are God's creatures as well. The version of the Old Tetsament about God punishing the enemies of Isreal was totally out of context of love from God. They are so selfish in establishing their nation. Now, almost everybody on earth envy them coz God had been unfair in love. We only fight for God against a real troop from Hell, satan's troop. Another country that one attacks is not that of a nation from Hell. It is a nation being ruled under the influence of a satanic mind; the ruler is in fact not a satan. He is a real human like many xtians but his soul has been under control by a satan who wants to make himself the lord of humans whose souls he had defeated. We have to chase the satan spirit out of this guy soul, not by going to war against him but pray hard to chase the evil that dwell in his body/soul.

I am wondering why you just bring this to light now maybe you should have brought this up when the fighting came about between religions centuries ago. The middle east is prime example,
religious parties fighting because they can't get along with each other or Muslims not getting along with Christians. Maybe you need to preach to the radicals that teach hate and to kill for allah.

I should have born before Adam. Human mind can be mindwashed to love God alone and neighbors. If there is still any killing, that means, one's mind is still dirty and needs further washing.

Don't worry. There are plenty of radicals visiting topix daily, many of which may even agree with war for these purposes.:)
