[QUOTE="MariaJLM, post: 73847713, member: 411880"] We do have warrior saints who were literally martyred in battle, but I would certainly largely agree that for the majority of modern conflicts Christians should not be participating. Most are about things like nationalism and gaining resources. Nationalism is anti-Christian for obvious reasons while using force to gain resources is a form of greed. In the Orthodox Church specifically it used to be a rule that soldiers returning from battle could not partake in the sacraments for a time because they were in a state of sin. Why? For killing people on the battlefield. [/QUOTE]
