The vast majority of Christians do not even know, and most likely would reject, the radical pacifism of their Lord.
Most people can point to “Turn the other cheek”, but He also says to offer the other one. He teaches that we are not to resist evil in any form, ever under any circumstance, to accept it all. We are to love our enemies. He goes even further: we are not even to resist lawsuits. If we are sued at law, we are not to fight, and then when we lose, we are to give even more than the judgment against us.
Try and grasp, if only for a moment, the level of nonresistance He is actually teaching here.
“Yeah, whatever,” Christians have been saying about what Jesus actually taught because they don’t have the belly for it and don’t even want to try. It goes against everything rational and “fair” that they’ve ever learned.
Read Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7 (in an older, real Bible, like the King James).
Your Lord and Savior was a complete radical. Too radical, apparently, even for you.
Christians have been going to war against each other and against non-Christians since day one, but that isn’t a surprise, because Jesus also taught us that His way wasn’t for every one:
“Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat…Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
Plainly, the radical Christian teaching is not for the mass of humanity, but for the few who can hack it. Therefore, it follows, that there has never been a Christian nation, of any kind–ever.
The true radicalism of Christ has been side-stepped for 2 millennia now and it’s time the bullshit stopped.
You wanna talk religious objections? Well, I got a whole history full, buddy.
