Christian Militias: Cognitive Dissonance with Weapons

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Christianity is based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Bible. The Bible also includes numerous other teachings and sources, but all of these are secondary to those lessons presented by Christ. Furthermore, modern Christianity has focused itself even further by ignoring certain elements of Christ’s lessons, in order to create a fundamentally moral core for the modern world. There is a certain amount of illogic in doing so, but in the end, this is forgivable, as it shapes Christianity into a religion which should, at its heart, embrace forgiveness, mercy, generosity, and other such important human values. Except clearly, some elements of Christianity do not seem to understand this core kernel of Christ’s morality, as is best evidenced by the recent attack on a Michigan police officer by a Christian militia group.
