Nope. I refuse that path. I would rather die than give in to that kind of fatalism. My Savior conquered the world through loving sacrifice, and I shall follow His example. Even if that seems foolish to the wise. I am very OK with being a fool.

You don't need to be part of the army. Just finance someone who will protect you in times of danger. Think about it like this. You finance. In times of trouble, whoever helps and protects you gets your money. Just like that. Without getting your hands dirty. Following the principles of his savior who walked alongside the Roman army. And the right to choose which exercise to finance.
Whoa, hold on there, pardner. Jesus was willing to use violence to make a political point and He actively got up in the government's face and preached. He didn't just go up to a mountain and commune with the deer, or something. That was St. Francis.
