Traditionally conscientious objection to military
service was in reaction the sin of taking human life. It might also be because
a corrupt executive selects an impossibly dumb, uninteresting war to practice. The
transcendent basis for conscientious objection is recognition of sin. All sin is
sin. Because President Obama has made a new sin government policy- the sin of
homosexuality and homosexual marriage- an official element of U.S. military
service he has expanded the parameters for conscientious objector status to
military conscription beyond homicide.
Biblically speaking one sin is generally
equal with other sins in being harmful to human souls. The sin of homosexuality
is proscribed equally with taking human life intentionally. Thou shalt not
kill, commit adultery, steal, maliciously lie or perpetrate homosexuality and
so forth with any kind of a clear conscience. One knows sin is wrong even in
the era of an evolving Nietzschic Beyond Good and Evil social morality
convenient to global marketing, added to by the commercial mass media and encouraged
in schools around the nation to create a class of malleable dupes serving to
redistribute wealth and power to global Plutonomy.
If the United States ever again has
military conscription those compelled to federal military service probably will
need to exclude straight Christians or other potential soldiers of faith whom
could not war against God's laws in order to facilitate expansion of an
immoral, sinful imperium.
