Justifiable And Proper Killing

This post is in response to the killing of three Somali-Muslim pirates by US Navy Seals
AND as to an on-line debate with a coward who refuses to identify him/her-self and who wishes to hold a "pity party" for those thugs.

Killing such is a natural function of ridding the "body politic" of toxic wastes. It should be done without passion (Lest sinful enjoyment ensue),without false pride (Which leads to pathological delusions of grandeur) and without guilt (As would prevent or slow down repeating such cleansing actions again as needed).

As St. Bernard of Clairvaux noted (In his De Laude Militae Novae), it is sometimes necessary to "strike blows for Christ" in defending the People of God from Muslim aggressors; But, that should be done without sinful motives or passions.

I see no reason not to apply the same cool, controlled and effective means to liquidate street criminals, home invaders----And tyrants.

But maybe it's more fun for you to cast blame elsewhere and call people names.

How very Christian of you.

I am all in favor of letting the foolish and ignorant march those characteristics for all to read. It makes my small efforts look better.
