there are many brave men languishing in jail cells right now who have complete control over the situation....they could be released at any time if they simply put on a soldiers uniform and join the army..... but they dont. We have more control over the situation then you realize.
Actually that whole go to war or go to jail this has been done away with. It has been that way for awhile now. I have been in the Army National Guard for 6 years now, trust me I know.
So from what I understand Pegg, you don't believe in the death penalty, am I right? You believe that mass murderers should be allowed to just run free and that we shouldn't try to stop them? You know there are places like that don't you? Do you live in a country like that? Why or why not?
Am I understanding this correctly?
You know, saying no military is also saying no police officers.
No police officers is saying anarchy. Criminals allowed to run free and do as they please. When an abusive husband is mistreating his wife and kids beating them with a baseball bat because he is drunk and then he pulls out a knife and you hear that wife pleading and praying for her life, she can't call the police because they do not exist. You are right there next door fully aware of what is taking place, your family has a hunting rifle in the gun safe, and are you saying that you believe that you should just do nothing and let God handle it?
I'm sorry, for me I think too much of the good Samaratin. I feel far too many people neglect those in need and just shrug there shoulders and say "I could help, but God will take care of them, he takes care of the lillies does he not?" and then they just pass them by and continue on their merry way.
I do however believe that it is commendable and that we do receive blessings from not fighting back when people harm us. It is a good thing to turn the other cheek. I feel it is one thing when someone is doing harm to me and I turn the other cheek and something completely different when someone is doing harm to someone else and I stand idlely by allowing it to happen.
If someone were to be murdered and I were to know that I stood idlely by and watched it happen without doing anything to prevent it when I very well could have, I would feel like I had blood on my hands, like Pontius Pilot.
If there is a holocaust going on out there, and we very well can put a stop to it, but don't, what makes us any different than Pilot?
