Hello gents, I don't really browse this part of the site but I've been having really, really winnie the poohed up thoughts lately and even though a bunch of random Christian shitpostsers can't possibly substitute a real spiritual figure, the fullchan hivemind probably knows more about geopolitical and historical matters than a small town's priest.

So basically I was mulling over some thoughts about war and more specifically the occupation (justified or not) of this or that land and the killing and enslavement of a foreign country. I understand the fundamental negativity of torture, so leave that and just think about the "controlled" murder of a group of people for economic or political gains. Is it justified? If not, when or is it even justifiable?

What if it happened to instill fear on a different, aggressive religion like Islam and force them to convert to the word of peace? What if it's to save my own people from the grips of other, more unruly and definitely more barbaric on average ones? When is the murder of one to save the lives of many justifiable?

And even if war is justifiable and conflict between two is accepted, what are the limits? Is it something that is honor-bound, so one must act vis-a-vis, or is trickery and deception justifiable? Is war to protect oneself good, whether it's done as a preemptive strike or as a defensive measure?

I think it comes down to a case where it would be fundamentally immoral not to fight back against undue aggression. "Blessed are the meek" does not mean "blessed are the weak and those who are incompetent at self defense," although in this day and age, no doubt people would be ready by any means to deceive you into thinking that you have to act like a Jain, and adopt veganism to be moral.

So yes, you can fight a Christian war, and if you are up against a violent religion, it is up for debate whether a "convert or die" policy is appropriate, although that is highly controversial.

What is the alternative to war? A world where Non-Christianity festers and spreads. This cannot be just. I think all should be given a chance to convert and obey all of God's commandment, and failing to do so they must brace for all consequences, including genocide. God commands the Israelites to commit genocide for this exact purpose, to kill who cannot be converted, woman and children included.

Once you start tolerating muslims, jews, pagans, buddhists, you'll end up tolerating faggots, pedophiles etc. soon after.

For the first 300 years, Christianity expanded faster than any religion ever has, all the while facing open persecution which would be labeled genocide by todays standards. On top of that, Europe hasn't been truly Christian for nearly 400 years, and Christianity is the largest and second fastest growing religion.

you know your argument is bad when even your cherry picked verses dont support it. That command to exterminate the Caananites is a one off command. God gives many one off commads, like Noah to build the arc. It does't mean everyone has to build arcs.

I don't even know why I'm arguing with some /pol/yp who is trying to use the Bible to promote genocide. It's pretty obvious from the lack of support by any Christians ever, that genocide is not a Christian thing to do.

Look man. Nobody reasonable would tell you that you are required to let foreign invaders kill you. You have a duty to protect yourself, your family, and your neighbor. I understand that nobody likes the literal slave religion Islam, but even the middle east had a healthy community of Christians until we decided that we'd prop up the Holocaustians in their fake little Israel. The Muslim nations were trapped in a perpetual Iron Age because they constantly eat themselves and each other. Our efforts to show them away out of that absurd cycle through Christ might have been well under way were it not for this current sad chapter of history. Escalating things at this point will only feed Israel further. They'll wither and die without the constant war aid our goon politicians keep feeding them because the country is an absolute turd. Why do you think they keep staging false flag attacks? The conflict feeds them.

This is exactly the opposite though. I could understand why one would be completely justified in taking down the forces of evil that threaten the continued existence not only of himself but of Christendom in the region, but what if you are the aggressor? Is it right to come knocking down on an infidel's door just because his kind have looked at you funny and you don't want to be on the wrong end of a broadsword in a few years' time?

Or what if it's against people of an entirely different race that still want you dead, but not directly so?

>>643037

Kind of a LARPer's answer, yeah

I'm talking more of a situation where live and let live is not applicable, such as with those races killing the Boers or the Chosen People, I certainly don't think that enslaving some Tibetan monks is the right thing to do.

>>643043

That's kind of disingenuous though because Christianity evolved as a religion since its inception, also I'd like some sources on that second fastest growing religion thing.

>>643053

May I get some academic insight on why even the asses should not be spared? Or rather were they places of high Christian persecution?

But Jesus flayed and dispersed a crowd doing biz in the Temples, clearly unprovoked but in a sense he was morally justified in that he scattered something of great evil festering in a holy place rather than getting attacked by it first.

>I understand that nobody likes the literal slave religion Islam, but even the middle east had a healthy community of Christians until we decided that we'd prop up the Holocaustians in their fake little Israel.

Same. I wonder if there's ever going to be a joint op against them? I bet their whole cult would have reformed spontaneously if our greatest allies were defeated once and for all.

>Escalating things at this point will only feed Israel further.

I must clarify that I was talking in a general sense, not directly against a cult, cred, race or country. What if you went and did the same to sub-Saharan Africans, who, for all intents and purposes, are Christians, but technically are just FickiFickians?

What about traitors, too? I always thought they should be the first to die or at least get expelled and sent into the very lands they try to serve as karmic punishment.

>>643102

Israel has no responsibility for your problems, Jewry has more, but the most have "live-and-let-live" Christians who will compromise.

Israel is not such a big deal, it accomplishes little in helping Jewry dominate the West, if anything it's an antithesis to the values Jews promote in the West. I have no love for Israel and I would much rather have the Holy Land back in Christian hands (or even muslim), but you must understand that the reason Israel is criticized by right-wing people is not because it's dangerous, but because it provides a socially acceptable target. If you talk about the mistreatment of Palestinians in Israel you can be the "humane guy", whereas if you mention Jewish domination of banking and the media you're branded "racist".

>>643147

>And heres the part where im gonna ask for historical quotes to back up that claim, and you wont provide

Pope Urban II:

>I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to perse all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it is meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it.

And you underestimate just how much of this process is tied to foreign policy, which is almost all of it. The entire post-modern empire of globalism is an artifact of the foreign policy of the last century and a half. Everything post US Civil War really. That "one world government" that everyone likes to handwring about has been here for years and its pretty much standing on our necks.

The wars in Middle East are not waged because of Israel (although it's a side benefit), but because of the petrodollar. The USD is an overinflated fiat currency that the Jews controlling the Fed print at will and give to their banks, but it would be worth little unless they forced the world to sell oil (or some other commodity) exclusively in USD. Saddam ditched the dollar and Gaddafi wanted to introduce a gold-backed currency, this is why they were killed. It's redpill 101.

This problem solved itself back when we were following God's word. The nations that were receptive such as the Europeans accepted it and became prosperous. The nations that weren't receptive such as the native Americans chimped out and got killed for it, eventually getting replaced by a Holy race receptive to the gospel. If this continued until the end of time the whole world would be Christian and prosperous. Unfortunately, we stopped killing heretics and savages and ended up with a messed up planet full of humans who behave like animals and voodoo tier perversions of Christianity. Satan's plan has been going so well that now Christendom is being invaded, dechristened, and replaced with savages. The absolute inverse of what is Holy and just.

Ignorant and argumentative says the crusade LARPer. Right.

Israel and the endless wars in the Middle East are absolutely necessary to bail out the BIS (who currently liquidates about 95% of the worlds GDP) because the Basel Accords have been a total failure. The entire show is a shell game to hide that the big global currencies are actually in an inflationary death spiral and that we're dumping money into a black hole under the guise of defense spending and foreign aid. If we were to pull the plug on Israel the globalist framework as we know it would go full china syndrome. Should this happen, the world economy will be in the hands of the power companies at that point. I'm more than familiar with how international finance works but you're forgetting that economics, in the end, is just an abstraction of more concrete forces and are putting the cart before the horse. Zionist foreign policy got us into this mess before Ashkenazim had significant institutional power in the US.

>>643197

Dude, the petrodollar mercantilism he describes was more a product of the Clintons that came to fruition, by design, during Bush's presidency, and was a short lived project that they tried to reboot during Hillary's term as Secretary of State. It's ultimately irrelevant, because the rot had set in long before it. Ford, Nixon's successor was the one responsible for enshrining Israel as our greatest ally and allowing their agents to hijack our political process. Economic policy has danced to the tune of foreign policy since the beginning of the modern era and does so even now. Regardless, I fail to see how a LARP crusade will solve any of this and not just add more bodies to the pile while the puppet masters line their pockets.

Really though if you want to talk more about this could we take it to the /pol/ containment thread. This is already gone on long enough.

And instead of cherrypicking selected quotes that may kind of resemble your heresy, read what all the great Christian saints and thinkers of pre-modern times would say about war, violence and peace.

You understand that the US foreign aid to Israel is just 3 billion a year? During the Arab-Israeli wars in the 60s the US remained neutral, and neither France nor the US would even sell arms to Israel at one point. Look up Jewish Anti-Zionism, many Jews opposed Israel because they believed that creating a nation state for themselves would not serve their international agenda. Israel was not the casus belli for a single US war in the Middle East. Israel was founded in 1948 long after the Fed was established in 1913 - which is really the beginning of Jewish control of American politics.

Yes, I am for a Crusade to remove both Arabs and Jews from the Holy Land, and with modern weapons, not medieval ones. You can persist to call me a larper because you have no arguments, but like I said I don't care.

>>643318

You are indoctrinated. Up until recently Europe was constantly at war, and the Churches didn't say a word, on the contrary, they constantly called for wars against muslims! But I guess all of history is a special case too in the brainwashed head of a pacifist. The problem is that don't understand the difference between tyrannical war, which Christianity is against, limited war, where only the belligerents die and the Church couldn't care less, and Holy war, where all muslims are killed and which the Church always supported. Only once you understand this, will you understand the Bible, the Church fathers and the saints.

Also, remember what John the Baptist said to the soldiers, Christianity was never against war, only against unjust war.
