David’s biblical prayers for battle, found heavily in Psalms and 1 Samuel, focus on recognizing God as protector, strengthening him for combat, and seeking victory over enemies through divine intervention. Key themes include asking God to fight for him, shielding him from harm, and trusting that the Lord is his fortress.
Yes the Confederates did the same.
But as Lincoln noted there is a difference in praying for victory vs the presumption that God is actually behind what you’re doing. (And the way you’re doing it.)
So, in order to defeat a theocratic regime hell bent on destroying the infidels, we must become just like them and use mythical bs as justification?
That should work out just fine.
