A true child of Christ doesn’t kill.
Western civilization, aka "Christendom" was only viable a civilization when it wasn't really all that Christian. It was able to survive and thrive When the Crusaders, Conquistadors, and Teutonic Knights were cracking people's skulls open.
Modern Christians have finally become the "eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven" that they were commanded to be.
Why pick up a gun and fight for your freedom when to wage violence is to endanger your immortal soul?
Why not content yourself to being a poor little abused slave to the marxists in this world and then collect your reward in the next life?
Thats how we got to where we are today. The disordered left has free reign to do whatever it wants, and the "opposition" has its hands tied behind its back by its "values" perpetually wringing those hands worrying if they are being charitable enough.
Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, 1971
RULE 4 - Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules no more than the Christian Church can live up to Christianity.

I would have to look it up, but there is a point in scripture about bending pruning rods into spears. Also something about selling ones cloak for a sword. So this stuff about Christians supposed to be milquetoast is a lot of rot.
