The American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer almost seems like a parody of an insane right wing fundamentalist, but he’s all too real — and he’s influential enough to share the stage with all the top GOP politicians at the last Values Voter Summit.

In Fischer’s latest unbelievably hateful post at the AFA site, he attempts to defend a previous post decrying the “feminization of the Medal of Honor,” by explaining that the US should start honoring soldiers who “inflict massive casualties” because God likes massive casualties.

Christianity is not a religion of pacifism. Remember that John the Baptist did not tell the soldiers who came to him to lay down their arms, even when they asked him directly, “what shall we do?” (Luke 3:14).

War is certainly a terrible thing, and should only be waged for the highest and most just of causes. But if the cause is just, then there is great honor in achieving military success, success which should be celebrated and rewarded.

The bottom line here is that the God of the Bible clearly honors those who show valor and gallantry in waging aggressive war in a just cause against the enemies of freedom, even while inflicting massive casualties in the process. What I’m saying is that it’s time we started imitating God’s example again.
