Another Reason We Will Lose The Next War

Do you recall the following thing which Jesus said?

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew 5:30 KJV

Perhaps you never understood what He meant, or perhaps you thought He was just speaking allegorically.

Here is an example of what Jesus meant, from the movie Apocalypse Now. One of the movie's memorable scenes is Colonel Kurtz’s monologue:

“I've seen horrors ... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that ... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror ... Horror has a face ... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with Special Forces ... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember ... I ... I ... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it ... I never want to forget. And then I realized ... like I was shot ... like I was shot with a diamond ... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God ... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men ... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love ... but they had the strength ... the strength ... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral ... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling ... without passion ... without judgment ... without judgment! Because it's judgment that defeats us.”

And here is another more contemporaneous example - the Taliban cut off the fingers of people who voted in the US-sponsored election in Afghanistan, fingers which from their perspective bore the mark of the beast:

The point I would like to make is not that vaccinations and/or purple fingers are the mark of the beast (although they may be), but that our so-called enemies have the wisdom to recognize how our way of life threatens them and the strength to cut off the arms, the hands, and/or the fingers that offend in the manner spoken of by Jesus.

We do not have such wisdom or strength. And because we do not, we shall lose the next war. We chase after false gods, idols, and graven images, while our so-called enemies seek to fulfill the word of G-d. The next war will be a religious war, and those who do not know G-d and/or who are not willing to do the things He told us to do cannot possibly win it.
