God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.

Telling American soldiers this war is “Biblical” and guarantees them a righteous place in the rapture is EXACTLY what the Bible means when it says not to take the Lord’s name in vain. It’s not about cursing. It’s about manipulating and controlling people in the name of God. That is exactly how belief gets weaponized.
I don’t want data centres. I want better roads, equipped hospitals, safety social nets for the unemployed, old and disabled, and developed public schools.

and now there is Punch, who will bless us with 10 years of good fortune.
