Justification
“How does the teachings of Jesus line up with so many of the wars done in the ‘name’ of Christianity over the centuries? I don’t see anywhere in the New Testament that promotes bloodshed - rather I see ‘love your neighbor’ in it. Kings and rulers have always found an excuse to give license to their greed - the more famous that excuse, the easier it is to sell it to the masses. It doesn’t matter if they correctly quote or represent a celebrity - it only matters that they can twist and use it for their own purposes.”
