Is war the answer?
To the editor:
Can you believe that a war movie is being advertised to open on Christmas day?
Christmas? Wasn’t that supposed to be the day when we celebrate the birth of the “prince of peace” – Jesus Christ?
If my memory serves me right, he said “turn the other cheek” and “love your enemies.”
Instead, Americans, most of whom claim to be “Christians,” have turned away from Jesus and toward making war as a solution to our problems.
Should we still be glorifying our military and spending triple our tax dollars on the military now over what we did during the Cold War?
Do we really believe that “might makes right”? How can we declare a “nation under God” and “In God We trust” when instead we trust in violence. A “Christian nation”? Not at all.
