Taking the Prince of Peace Seriously

Several years ago, Congressman Sam Johnson (R-Texas) told parishioners at Suncreek United Methodist Church in Allen, Texas, something he had said to President George W. Bush: “Syria is the problem. Syria is where those weapons of mass destruction are, in my view. You know, I can fly an F-15, put two nukes on ’em and I’ll make one pass. We won’t have to worry about Syria anymore.”
Johnson later claimed he’d been joking. But the congregation wasn’t laughing – it was roaring with cheers and applause.
These were all Christians, you understand – you know, people who are supposed to be concerned about the wrongful taking of innocent human life.
