This pretty much sums it up for me, as well as provides a theme for Christianity. It is very much in line with the Golden Rule. Of course it makes us choose between the fear of death and the love of God. But what is more important?
Life is not a longevity contest. It's about quality, not quantity.
Thanks all,

To be a Christian and in support of war is a contradiction. Christians are called to do good to all people, even to there enemy.
