He's a Christian in the traditional mould. Read any history of
Christianity, and you will find that Jason stands fullsquare at
the end of 2,000 years of like-minded butchers.

I don't agree. After all, it was the Church that came up with the Just
War doctrine, and set limits to what was acceptable in war-time. (Though
other religions did similar things, especially classical Islam.)

That said, yes, the history of Christianity is full of instances of
bloody-mindedness and savagery that would put Caligula to shame. I just
think that there is a countervailing stream in church history that gives
me hope that rational Christians (of which Jason is not one, of course)
will work to find ways to moderate the extremes of the rest of their
coreligionists.

Notions of a "just war" were well-known to the Romans (read
Cicero in De Officiis and De Re Publica).

Do note the interesting correlation here between the growth of
pacifist church teaching and the loss of the church's secular
powers. Only when the churches lost their ability to wage war
themselves, did they start to push the pacifist angle.

You are the one who has proven yourself to not know the so-called
"nature of warfare".

Did you ever produce the list of German cities the U.S. destroyed in
World War One? You know that after the bombing, soldiers went in and
killed everybody they saw? You do remember making that claim, don't
you?

To be exact:


"During WW I, it was common for our military leaders
to send planes over cities in Germany to bomb them.
After most everyone in that city was killed by the
bombs, our soldiers would go into the city and shoot
everyone they saw."
