Because there's no balance.

Of course, Jesus washed feet.

That's not my argument.

But there is a balance.

Jesus also hurled tables and made a court of whips and drove people and livestock out.

So there is a room, I believe, for, well, the Bible says so, righteous indignation that is at least funneled in a proper way.

And all of that, I guess, is missing.

And in as much as people don't get that, I think a lot of this is futile.

And I'll end it by what I call the two swords theology.

I just wrote a book that came out a few months ago.

It's called The Two Swords of Christ.

And it deals with the military orders and their battles with Islam, the Templars and the Hospitallers.

But there's a second meaning to the title, and it's basically in Luke, where Christ says, if he doesn't have a garment, sell it and buy a sword.

And the disciples say, Lord, here are two swords.

And he says, that is enough.

Now, of course, the modern day Christians, that means absolutely nothing.

It doesn't mean anything about a real sword.

But, of course, there's a long and deep tradition, pre-modern, especially medieval tradition,

understanding, which is the two swords.

One is spiritual, which I think modern Christians still accept, spiritual warfare, but one is secular warfare.
