killing for Jesus is like shagging for celibacy

Jesus killed Mohammed?!?!

May 15th, 2009 – by Jarrod McKenna

Jeff Sharlet’s brave work (one recent article titled “Jesus Killed Mohammed”) exposes the rise of right wing fundamentalism at the heart of the US military. My latest article on God’s Politics is about how a generation are waking up to the fact that killing for Jesus is like shagging for celibacy.

“ “Jesus Killed Mohammed” was written in Arabic in large red letters on the side of a U.S. Army Special Forces vehicle, armed to kill and rolling through a town in Iraq. It sounds like a bad Mad-Maxesque Hollywood adaption of the Crusades set in our contemporary context.. “

Pace e Bene Australia

Pace e bene (pronounced pah-chay-bay-nay) means 'peace and all good' in Italian -- it was an expression used by St Francis of Assisi as a greeting and a means of proclaiming the way of nonviolence in the midst of a violent world.
