An Army Of None

Which way to the war?

Evangelical Christians tell us we are at war. They call for Christians to be "soldiers of Christ". To put on the "Full Armor of God". To do battle against "evil". To fight for Christ.

Metaphorically? Ray Comfort, in a recent post said- "There is nothing metaphoric about the battle in which we find ourselves." If this is not a figure of speech, a symbol, does this have any basis in reality?

No. There is no basis in reality. This battle against evil is chimerical. It is imaginary. It relies solely on a mere supposition, a conjecture of what may possibly occur after death. Supported only by a book written by bronze age men, which has been mistranslated and misinterpreted for the past 2 millennium.

There is no evidence of the battle of evil. It exists only in the minds of religious zealots and prudes who belong in past centuries who cannot accept natural human sexuality nor scientific advancement and which shows their outdated religions to be false.

Yet war itself is the harshest of reality. I sincerely hope that all rational thinkers reject and refute statements by Evangelical Christians making references to "enemies", "soldiers of Christ", battling against "evil" and other such authoritarian and war-like tomes. From such talk only comes oppression.

Who will be the one who is not "blinded by Satan", the one who can direct the "soldiers of Christ" and define their mission? Who will they cast as the next "enemy" of Christianity? Jews? (been there, done that, but always good for demonification) Atheists? Artists? Musicians? Homosexuals?

Albert Einstein said - "The handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm and the misguided. And those who have an interest in keeping the machinery of war going are a very powerful body; they will stop at nothing to make public opinion subservient to their murderous ends."

Ray Comfort says- "So don’t be concerned about us seeing you as the enemy."

(Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, Dorothy!)

Be very concerned! Ray Comfort is a false prophet, a false teacher, and a fraud. Identifying enemies is a certain prelude to war. No one should consider themselves a "Soldier for Christ" or conceive of "God's Army", or speak of "battles". That is antithetical to what Christ, the Prince of Peace really preached-

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called [known as] the children of God".
