CHAPTER II/The Victorious Fighters of Armageddon - Continue

 Sentimental Christian religionists pretend to recoil in horror and disgust at the historic fact of Jehovah's fighting with such destruction to the enemies of loved people. They call him a "tribal God," a "big bully," "cruel," "blood-thirsty," and "vengeful." They indulge in all such blasphemy of Jehovah God only till their political government and nation gets into war with another nation.  Then what do these same Christian religionists do? Led by their clergymen, Catholic and Protestant, they pray to God that He should be with their armies and help them to shed the blood and destroy the lives and property of their enemies to gain the victory, even though these national enemies are of the same religious faith, Catholic or Protestant. They will even offer such prayers to God after they have called in heathen armies and ungodly Communists to help them as allies to gain the victory. What kind of God is it that such war-mad Christian religionists then worship? And do they then look upon Jesus Christ as a warrior fighting at the head of their armies with weapons of wholesale destruction?
