Brother Adam Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 There will always be evil men in this world and thus there will always be a need for a strong national defense in every nation. We don't know when the next Hitler will rise. Likely Christianity will have to fight Islam for the right to exist again within the next 100 years. If we are going to have a strong national defense then we need people to join armed services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better keep the horses well fed and the troops ready, lord knows Indonesia's on the brink of posing an existential threat to America. No offense, but I think you've been watching a bit too much Fox News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotusTuusMaria Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 it is no more unlikely then anything else. Christians had to fight once to exist. The Islamic population is growing and has a very active radical minority with the very agenda of doing such a thing. it could happen just as you could come back to the church. everything is a possibility.

You know, Resurrexi, you don't have to agree with every single decision or position of the Church on every single matter (not talking about authoritive teachings here). It is good to have your own mind and make decisions based on your own reasoning. You're only 15, you'll learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
