May God Curse Memorial Day
We perpetuate war by exalting its sacrifice. Unfortunately, Christians tend to be the first to advocate war. The original Christians were put to death for their refusal to join the Roman Legions. Now we have modern Christians (so called) that absolutely venerate the symbols of war. The fact that many Christians have associated the Prince of Peace with war is nothing short of Satanic and evil. Despite the propaganda, very few of our wars had anything to do with “defending liberty.” Most of the wars have been the result of entangling alliances and political scheming. Below is a clip from the movie The Americanization of Emily. In the clip the soldier explains how building statues, Memorial Day parades and making heroes of the dead only serves to glamorize and perpetuate war.
