War Doesn’t Kill People

War doesn’t kill people. People kill people. War is people feeling entitled to proudly and self-righteously kill people.

Nations don’t kill people. Their citizens who belong to their armed forces kill people.

Bombing is barbaric. It’s a method for killing people just because they happen to be in the area where bombs are dropped, missiles are exploded, and drones are blown up.

War is humanity’s biggest failure. There are no real winners in war. It’s full of losers — those who lose their lives, those who lose limbs, those who lose their physical and/or mental health, those who lose family and friends, those who lose their homes and property, those who lose hope, those who lose compassion.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
