A. Unabashed Pacifist:
Devil’s workshop? That would be a munitions plant.
B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
You offer us incredible freedom. In fact, I think you require it. It seems that “live free or die” has its origins in you. Although I will not accept the military and political appropriation of that slogan, I do accept it as a theological and psychological truth. We are designed for freedom.
Jesus was all about liberating people. He confirmed what runs throughout the scriptures: You demand “let my people go!” You want to free us from demons, from slavery, from oppression by governments and by religions, from scarcity, addictions and mindless pursuits, from disease, desperation and boredom, from fear and hatred and vengeance. You offer freedom to know more, to know you who are more, more than can ever be bound by our vain attempts to control or limit you.
Amen
C. Un-quoting Jesus:
“Question authority… Well, perhaps not mine, Peter.”
[I like it. But He didn’t say it.]
