Yours seems to be a different question, of which I think that the specification of religious may be a bit vague.
Actually i never said primary
No specification of religious is not vague at all in the context of this discussion i mean Christian.
Thank you for the correction. I think my response may have been based more off of what Neo said than yourself.
Also thanks for the clarification. I had suspected that you where referring more to what you see as Christian tradition, rather than just religions in general. I can see where an argument can be made for such; in that light. There are also arguments, that can be made against such strict pacifism as well. I for one, do not believe that a Christian should not serve in the military.
(Note: thanks for a quick and simple correction/clarification it's refreshing to have such in discussion).
