From Josh:
Myth Of A Christian Nation: The title was inspired by Greg Boyd's excellent book of the same name. It's pretty self-explanatory: a very explicit rant against the idea that America is "God's kingdom" or that the nation is noble and admirable as opposed to just another fallen worldly kingdom. Our idea of freedom has nothing to do with any nation. Jesus' call to love and die for our enemies is in no way exemplified by a ruthless powerhouse that stands for blowing your enemies away, and we've come to resent the false connection of America to Christ that confuses people the world over.
You're missing the point... I've met Showbread before. They're against ALL war. They're pacifists. They believe that all war is against the message that Jesus declared. Jesus declared peace. War is against Jesus' message in every way possible. They, and I, believe that all war is wrong and contrary to Jesus.
