He backs this statement up with numerous facts and hypothetical situations that could’ve happen if the US government had not invaded Iraq. Being an anti-theist, Dr. Hitchens is very much against the use of God in politics. The Tea Party, on the other hand, is trying to “put God back into the United States of America.” He sees Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky both as great men and he no longer considers himself a socialist but rather a Marxist. Marx states that: “Man created God, God did not create Man.” Dr. Hitchens gets his conclusion, “God did not create man, we created God,” from Karl Marx’s statement: “Man makes religion, religion does not make man…” Many members of the Tea Party focus on just the “fiscal” issues facing the government, however, they do not believe in the beliefs of Marx, Lenin or Trotsky. Dr. Hitchens was also recently diagnosed esophageal cancer.
Muslims are allowed to go to war if they are oppressed from practicing religion however they are not accepted to go over the limits. A quote from the Quran to prove this is "God does not love the aggressors. Since Augustine of Hippo many Christians have believed that war could be justified under certain moral conditions are fulfilled,namely the just war theory.In the old testament people believed in a belligerent God.In the New Testament war was not an issue. The early Christians believed that Jesus was a pacifist because he told Peter to put his sword away.People like Martin Luther King are known as pacifists meaning they are against war,he went out to stop the racism to the black community he went out preaching, made campaigns and even wrote his own speech. Jesus forgave those who crucified him.
It depends on who you are asking if you ask a Christian they will tell you any war is unjust because god would not want you to kill others. He would want you to turn the cheek. Others may say it is just if it’s in defense. In this paper, I will explain why the Vietnam War was just. The United States got involved in the Vietnam War from 1954 -1964 to prevent and contain communism.
Whereas relative is has loads of expectations and depends on the ethics of the situation. Absolute morality tends to be more religion orientated. In the Ten Commandments, there is one saying ‘Thou shalt not kill’ meaning ‘murder is not allowed.” Christians won’t question these rules, as they are from God. This is an absolutist rule. Someone who doesn’t follow a religion may tend to be more of a relativist, and they may say “Murder should be prevented, unless murdering one could stop the murder of more.” Using Kant’s famous example, if a murderer with an axe came to your house asking the whereabouts of your children, you’d have to tell him so that you are being moral as the murderer is his own moral agent and you are not responsible for his choices, you are only responsible for your own and it’ll be wrong to lie, even if it is to protect your loved ones.
Owen highlights such unjust experiences of the soldiers to augment his argument against the bureaucracy. Parable of the old man and the young is a didactic poem which alludes to a story in Genesis 22:5 and is about Abrams sacrifice to a higher power. In WW1, many soldiers were being sent to fight in an unnecessary war, killing thousands upon thousands of men, for the aid of foreign power. This notion of injustice can be seen in ‘Parable’ where an ‘angel’ tries to ‘offer the Ram of pride instead of him’ to Abram. The biblical allusion of the term ‘angel’ symbolises a moral conscience, in the hope of changing Abrams mind, as well as on a didactic level, symbolising the mothers and loved ones of the soldiers.
The risks of inaccurate judgment can change the live of a human within just a few seconds. Taking away another person’s life for committing a crime is like taken an easy way out. The U.S. government should stop using the death penalty as a way of punishment because it is unfair, unethical and crucial. The founding fathers of the The United States of America wanted a government that would show the tyrants or absolute monarchs of Europe that it was possible to coexist and live free within fair justice. Even though they excluded any religion to be part of the government regulations, they used Christianity to influence them and build a strong foundation for the new type of government.
And I interrupt this not only as just other gods, but also things that hinder our religion. We do need to accept other and love other’s but not to turn against God’s laws and plans for us. Also, with the Declaration of Independence says from the first amendment that the government will make no law about making a new religion. So, even the bible and the First Amendment says they should be separate.

DB Forum Module 4 The Gospel Message 1. In our culture the gospel message is often perceived as just another path that leads to God. People often reject the gospel message because they feel like it does not include everyone. Therefore, if everyone cannot be included then the gospel message has to compromise or it may not be accepted. That thought pattern is rooted in sin and rebellion because the gospel message is centered on repentance of sin and accepting Jesus as Lord.
The term minister reflects how religious preferences, most commonly Christianity, had an effect on a person's view of war. The next term, sinisters, is referring to the evil and menacing people were involved in the war. Whether Lennon directed this statement towards the United States government, spies, or the enemy is unknown, but it is known that he did not agree with those who were evil and menacing. Finally, the mention of the term canisters is showing the technology and weapons of war; a canister held many shells, or bullets, that were contained in a gun to be used in war. Lennon also refers to an expression of his own creation, bagism, in the line “Ev’rybody’s talking about/Bagism, Shagism, Dragism;” the term bagism, according to Lennon, refers to wearing a bag over someone’s head.
