German Church Finds God in Geopolitics, Abandons Peace
According to RT, the EKD, representing 19.2 million German Protestants, is now supporting military engagement, declaring their previous peace stance "no longer sustainable." This sudden revelation comes as Germany ramps up military spending, pledging €100 billion for defense upgrades amid calls for increased NATO contributions. Funny, how 'moral' clarity often aligns perfectly with prevailing
political winds and lucrative defense contracts. This isn't just about German churches; it's a pattern. Powerful institutions, once bastions of moral authority, regularly recalibrate their ethics to align with state power, especially when military-industrial complex profits are on the table. It raises questions about how many 'biblical principles' are actually negotiable when the right 'security
landscape' appears. Perhaps the next Synod will vote on reinterpreting 'blessed are the peacemakers' as 'blessed are the defense contractors whose quarterly earnings soar'.
