Letter: Violence is not the solution
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
It baffles me that a number of people who call themselves Christian seem to put more of their faith in their AK- 47s than in their Messiah as the answer to a violent world.
In my reading of the gospels, Jesus renounced violence as the way to salvation. Nowhere have I read that He resorted to an army, a sword, or even a knife to defend his beliefs. To me, His main message is that violence, especially calculated violence, gets us nowhere.
