No, an attitude like mine is the same as the Lords and His Apostles in wanting to keep the purity and truth of the Gospel free from compromise and being watered down so much you can't tell the difference from preaching and other pagan religions.

I don't advocate war fought by a manmade sword, but waged with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. The call of the Church is to disciple the nations through the preached Word by the power of the Spirit and to bring every thought captive for the glory of Jesus. And in time every nation will bow to the Lord.

There is IMO justified war, such as outside attack, ie 9/11 or to aid besieged Christians in other lands from wicked oppresion such as the Nuba Christians in Southern Sudan who are facing annihalation from the muslim north. I feel a Christian nation has an obligation to wage war in these cases.
