“Christians have oppressed Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, Pagans, and each other throughout their centuries of power, preaching religious intolerance as the word of Jehovah whenever they had the military, political, or economic power to make it stick - and then piously preaching brotherhood, peace, and toleration when they didn't.” ChristianPoliticalReligiousEconomicCenturyMilitarySticksJewBuddhistBrotherhoodIntolerancePreachingOppressedPaganJehovahTolerationReligious IntoleranceEconomic Power Author:Isaac Bonewits
“God works to over throw the ungodly, and increasingly the world will come under the dominion of Christians, not by military aggression, but by godly labor, saving, in vestment, and orientation toward the future...

“We are coming to the times when passive Christianity and passive Christians will cease to exist. There is a maturity, a discipline and a divine militancy coming upon the people of God. Those who have succumbed to humanistic and idealistic theologies may have a hard time with this, but we must understand that God is a military God. The title that he uses ten times more than any other is "the Lord of Hosts", or "Lord of armies". There is a martial aspect to his character that we must understand and embrace for the times and the job to which we are now coming.” PeopleMayHardCharacterUseChristianJobsChristianityLordMilitaryDivineDisciplineTenAspectArmyEmbraceCeaseTheologyTitlesMaturityHard TimesHostPassiveIdealisticHumanisticMilitancy Author:Rick Joyner
“The simple truth is that there isn't a single civil right I would deny to an evangelical Christian. I've defended their freedom of religion, of association, of disassociation, and believe they should be treated with respect. I wouldn't dream of drumming them out of the military, firing them for their faith, tearing up their relationships, or taking their children away from them.

“Soldiers join the military to serve their country, but when bullets are flying, it's hard to fight for an abstract notion like patriotism. They're fighting for the people standing next to them, and it doesn't matter who's a Republican or a Democrat, or who's black or white or Christian or Muslim or gay or straight. If Congress and all Americans could manage to ignore those differences, we would have a perfect country, but somehow we cannot rise to that level of nobility.” PeopleCountryChristianFightingBlackPerfectMilitaryRepublicanGayDemocratSoldierFlyingManageAbstractNobility Author:Sebastian Junger
