I love the article today on God & War. The exchange with John Jay regarding the question of whether all war is wrong is quite fascinating. I think it applies the same to “violence.” People today always say, “violence is always wrong.” That was the big response to Will slapping Chris. But violence is absolutely good in some cases. You can bet my wife or daughter will rejoice in my ability to violently put down a threat if they are attacked. You can bet that if you’re attacked by a bear, that you’ll rejoice in the violent response of a fellow camper with the ability to put that bear down before you are killed. That’s it. Just wanted to say that violence can be a good and is absolutely necessary for any man living in this fallen world.
