Sanctimonious Warring

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Cain did not claim God’s sanction for killing his brother. We condemn Cain, then claim divine sanction for going to war.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

If we let you nurture us, we grow strong in spirit.
If we let you guide us, we travel to places of hope and promise.
If we let you teach us, we learn about ourselves, our world and you.
If we let you support us, we discover gifts that serve our community.
If we let you love us, we know forgiveness and compassion.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“My crazy shrink says I have something called suicidal ideation.”

[It was a different era, so He never said this.]

When I die
Spread my ashes in the woods
Where I will be going home
