Peace
This whole pacifist thing is really hard. It doesn't come naturally to me at all. I'm more of a "raise the black flag and start slitting throats" kind of a guy really. Yet I am convinced that my Lord commands it of me, of all Christians.
This is my way of saying I've decided not be involved in the government at all, not even by casting a vote. I'll pay my taxes and obey the laws but that is all I'll do for them, and that only because the Lord commands that I do that much. He doesn't command me to be more involved than that though and I don't think he wants more than that.
Really, what I'd
like to do is march on Washington DC and burn it to the ground. Instead I'm looking for some way to minister to the homeless. That's the thing the Lord has been calling me to do for years, when I listen to him that is. I have been pretty good at ignoring the call but it has become quite insistent of late, I suppose I'll have to actually get off of my fat ass and do something before long or he's going to get rough. :-p
