Killing in the name of the Lord: "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it." So says the website for FORCE Ministries, a Christian group with a three-prong "mission strategy" that encompasses evangelism, discipleship, and deployment. Its goal is "equipping military personnel for Christ-centered duty," but you've got to wonder how this fervor would be met in the less Christian lands. As Jonathan Schwarz writes, "If there were a comparable group of middle eastern men with a comparable website with a comparable picture reading 'Purpose: Impart faith in Mohammed,' it would get a great deal of attention here."
