"It is consoling, of course, to view ourselves as models of rectitude and even more so as misunderstood models of rectitude. But simple honesty compels us to see that we are as other nations are. The trouble with saying 'The only thing that the other side understands is force' is that you have to behave as if the only thing you understand is force." - William Sloan Coffin.
The behavior of the armed forces in Iraq is a case in point. Would that the fierce faith we place in smart bombs could be given to the Lord of Life.
Believe it or not, Nonviolent Jesus has been around for nearly two years. I would like to pause in the unremitting weekly posts and hear a word or two of feedback. I know that there are several regular readers. This time I would like to hear from you if you find the service helpful and particularly, what other types of information you might find helpful in our common struggle against war.

The Science of the Spirit
A New Source for Peace and Social Justice
As a dedicated Christian, I welcome links to blogs that truly fight for social justice and against the military-industrial complex. Recently, I have discovered a new path to peace and justice in the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. By purifying and cultivating our thoughts and ennobling our feelings, we can create a humankind that is competent and not naive, that can decide for itself what it wants to do. Only through a mighty education of our innermost powers of soul can social injustice be challenged. If we permeate ourselves with the truths of the spirit then our judgments will be cleansed from the corporate illusion factory, otherwise known as the managed media.

I have been reading your blogs for several months and I have shared them with others, such on the David Corn website. I find your blogs are great reads and informative.
I think you're doing a great job - keep on keeping on.
Thanks much to Gerald and virushead - it's knowing that there are ears like yours out there that keeps me going.
