The Sword.

Those who use violence and force in the cause of religion are mistaken.

God does not use violence or force.

God uses Love and Light to overcome evil.

We must lay down the sword and cry out to God for help!

And we must never use violence to force our religion onto others.

This is the classic mistake of the world's religions.

We must transcend violence!

We must abandon war!

The end does not justify the means.

The end is the means.

We must use non-violent means to achieve our goals.

And we must never try to defeat others.

We must only try to defeat evil in others.

Violence begets violence.

But love begets love.
