General's Speak For You?

As I write this essay, I cannot help but think of the love so many Christians have for the military. There is almost zero critical thought behind this love affair. It just exists as churches have convinced themselves the only element of government that works and in their opinion works well, is the military. Until you ask them specific questions and then when being honest, they will admit and acknowledge every single misstep, endless war, murder, and crime is wrong, even when conducted by the military. Then within the space of seconds they swear undying fealty to the military again.

This week more than 120 generals signed a statement saying Biden is unfit for command, the office, and leadership. They say he is unable to speak clearly, leading the country towards peril, and has a diminished capacity for thought. The thing is, these assessments of Biden go all the way back to the early 1980's. It is common knowledge he is not the brightest bulb and lacks morals. There are so many elements available for a quick search of his past, but people still supported him all these decades. His supporters are aghast that generals would sign a statement about him being unfit.

These same people lauded generals signing an almost identical letter about Trump though. The opinions of  longtime welfare recipients opposed to Trump were endlessly valuable and should be heeded. Saints, let me tell you something you do not want to hear. All of those generals were right. Neither of these men are fit to sit in a chair and make dictates, sign laws, threaten foreign countries, or endorse endless wars. The thing is, no one is fit for that role as no one can do it.

There is no human who can or should rule over others because we are all unfit to do it. Now some are less bad than others, but none of those people are vying for office because only the worst people seek an office that is inherently evil. Saints, we do not need to wait for the words of generals, because they have spent their entire career receiving gold and treasure at the whim of the dogs that feed them. They have the least valuable opinions out of all people. They are bought and paid for with scraps from the table and spent their careers asking for more scraps.

Saints, come out of your State worship. The military is like every other office, bad, ineffective, and wicked. We serve a King who loves and heals with a gentle touch. Kings and generals are not to be listened to as they do not serve the same master as the Saints and it is solely in their interest to mislead, misdirect, steal, and kill.

Being a part of the State is the last place for any Christian, come out of her!
