Well, just today, I received some links to further articles on the topic -- these ones coming from more contemporary writers (than the ones referenced in the other article) -- that interestingly enough lead to the same conclusion as the article I posted previously.
Here's one from World Magazine originally written in 1999 in reference to Kosovo and since revised for the current situation
The second one is by theologian John Piper and gives a very good breakdown based on interpretation of a number of Bible passages including many from the Gospels.

Quote of the Week
A little more of Gilbert Keith Chesterton's wit and wisdom this week:
"The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog."
I hope to have a few more updates this week. I have some more photos in mind (as I mentioned last week), as well as some possible reviews and updates to previous posts. I may as well get some content in while I have a chance since I probably won't be able to update for the entire month of March.
