I was raised an SDA. I understand their teachings and that some churches remain more true to them than others. Midwestern churches are much more dogmatic.

In the metropolitan areas, the churches have become more secularized.

I do not attend church. My role is to explain what the church teaches, and what the rank and file believe and do with those teachings.

I am about as big a hawk on military matters as you would ever hope to see.

I know what evil can accomplish if you don’t stand up to it.

We need a military second to none, and a CIC that knows when it is appropriate to use it.

I can’t tell you what Carson’s vision of the military is. He may be hampered by his religious teachings, and he may in fact think Biblical prophecy predestins us to conflict with Russia at some point.

Each individual, be they an SDA or the follower of any other church, has to come to terms with using the military in times of crisis.

Carson could be of more sound mind on these matters than many of the others. Then again, he may not be. That’s something very hard to assess.

You’ll have ot work that out on your own.
