Food for thought: The State vs. Christian Moral Values by Scott Lazarowitz

     "If one's loyalty is to the State, as opposed to being loyal to the Rule of Law and to moral values, then one's loyalty to the State requires one to support acts by . . . the State that are immoral, thus un-Christian. Unfortunately, too many people, in their intellectual laziness and their passive, blind obedience to anything the State tells them, have accepted their government's crimes against others . . . in the name of "fighting terrorism," or punishing people for using drugs or whatever.
     It is very difficult for me to believe that someone who is Christian-minded and who believes in the aforementioned moral values could approve of a government knowingly apprehending and detaining totally innocent individuals at random as the Bush Administration had done for years following 9/11. Or the U.S. military's and CIA's indiscriminate drone-bombing murders of innocent Afghani and Pakistani civilians. Those who believe that's okay but don't believe it's okay for Al-qaeda or the Pakistani government to fly remote-controlled drones over the U.S. and indiscriminately murder innocent Americans do not believe in the philosophy, 'Don't do unto others what one would not want others to do unto you.'"
