I accept the fact that you reject the need for Christians to work for peace.

Where did I do that, lol?!

What you are rejecting is the concept of attempting to reconcile differences without violence.

Nay, what I reject is the idea that there can be reconciliation apart from Christ Jesus, God's Son.

I have not mentioned anything as abstract as reconciliation.

The absence or or reduced frequency of war is not a religious concept. It is basic national toilet training.

It may be presumptuous of me, but I suspect you get along with your neighbors without violence. You may be aware that not every neighborhood is like this.

You probably see kids who are not as as well behaved as yours. This is largely a matter of upbringing.

If your idea of Christianity is, "I've got mine; screw the kids with bad parents or those who live in bad neighborhoods," I am sorry for you. If you think being a Christian is taking care of yourself and not reaching out to others, then I feel sorry for you.
