In was responding to what Mike wrote.  I think your vision and version of the Gospel and Jesus' words of peace and non-violence are severely twisted and misguided,  and I don't wish to engage with you now (or ever).  

Christians are supposed to be building the Kingdom.  If we were doing our job (if we had done our job over the past 2000 years), there would be no reason for any country to be armed.  PEACE is the goal, not something to fear.
