You almost certainly won't serve in some medical core - your life is God's. You follow God's calling that if you nation is wrong his calling may be to fight for the enemy. There is no justification in making the sick well if they are just going to kill again.
As indeed conspirators against Hitler did Bonhoeffer etc. An old tale : There was once a Quaker farmer who could not get his mule to move, no matter how he cajoled, pushed, or pulled. Finally, he looked the mule straight in the eye and addressed him by name. "Josiah," he said, "Thee knows I shall never curse thee, and thee knows I shall never strike thee; but if thee doesn't start moving this very instant, I shall sell thee to a Baptist who will!" Of course, the mule began moving immediately, being an animal of great wit and sagacity.
As Ghandi pointed out non-violence as a tactic onlly works when thre is violence to back it up.
When I had trouble as a social worker I wanterd peaceful resolution but undr certain circumstances the only solution was to say sit down then go - or else police will be called and the police were not pacifists in this area.
Predestination or devine intervention is not something most Christians assume about god.
berger :
"It would require a good satirical pen indeed to describe the embarrassment that would be caused in one of our Protestant seminaries or church gatherings by the appearance of anyone claiming to have had a genuine encounter with the supernatural. Such an emergency, however, has become quite unlikely with the psychiatric screening and counseling procedures that have become commonly accepted in our ecclesiastical institutions." Berger
And of course if you are ant interventionist you must assume that the devil cant intrvene as well - to bring a laeder such As Hitler.
Such nonsense Pirate Preacher Man!

Sorry don't buy into that whole god/allah/aahweh/vishnu fairytale.

When I die I will be comforted in the fact I provided for my families future and I made a difference. People have roofs over their heads and are able to feed their families because of me.

I don't need to worry about some made up fantasy with obvious ego issues(He created us to so we could honor him? That is messed up!) to comfort me.

I fail to understand you Mr. C. This view you have on religion is totally at odds with the support you've given the state of Isreal on many of your posts.
