Objection to Christianity Examined
The same could be said for politics, but politics cannot be eliminated from society; we can only try to find the right political formula. Neither can we eliminate our religious need; we can only find the right religion. A good start would be to find one committed to a leader who said, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers … love your enemies … bless those who curse you … turn the other cheek …’
When looking for the cause of war, try greed, selfishness, pride, hate, unforgiveness.
A DIFFERENT VIEW: If you assume that killing and exploitation are wrong, you have unconsciously appropriated Christian values. If, as atheistic evolutionists teach, advancement comes through the survival of the fittest, why not let war take its natural course? Dig into many non-Christian religions and you will discover the teaching that all things are one - including good and evil. Why work for justice if nothing - exploitation included - is evil? It is Christianity that provides the rational basis for pursuing justice and peace. It makes so much sense that non-Christians often end up sidestepping the logical implications of their own beliefs. They tack Christian values on to their anti-Christian base, like trying to graft rose buds on to plastic roots.
