When you know for a fact that some conservatives have never read the Bible.
"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10)
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Matthew 26:52
“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.” (Matt. 5.21-22)
“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.” (Genesis 9:6)
You shall not murder. -Exodus 20:13 (One of the Big Ten)
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. --Matthew 5:38-39
I could pretty much go on with this most of the night. You get the point. According to scripture, violence is the CURSE, not the created intention of God.
The Federalist should probably just stay away -- far away -- from theological anthropology.
