You wanna think about something weird? Christians believe homosexuality is a sin. America stands against Christianity by legally considering homosexuals a "protected class." Russia, on the other hand, outlaws homosexuality on the basis of it being immoral. Putin himself uses the "immorality" of America as a talking point in his speeches. Are Russians fighting against the West because the West is persecuting those in eastern Europe with Christian values? Does that make Russia righteous in the eyes of some Russians who believe in Christian values? Are there any of these Russians who believe in siding with Russia and against the immoral West in this conflict? Furthermore, if we are their brothers in Christ, and they are fighting against Western immorality, then whom should we support? I bet that out of all the millions of people in Russia, that there are definitely a few at least who feel this way. Shouldn't we support them? But then what does that do to our relationships at home? Are we antiChristian if we are antiAmerican?
Granted, I am only really asking these questions for the sake of argument, because Putin's government is pretty objectively evil, and I don't believe in outlawing homosexuality. But the Bible does call it a sin, so there is a difference between what I tolerate and what I approve. Naturally I expect everyone to be reasonable like me, as I consider my approach the most naturally reasonable. But truthfully I am only calling myself resonable tongue-in-cheek, because personal opinion alone isn't sufficient to establish what is natural and reasonable. Personally I think it is fair and balanced to tolerate someone without approving of them, but what if your child tells you they are gay, and you are a pastor? How far do you go to support them? It's not easy.
The point I am trying to make by creating this post is that sometimes we share common morals with our natural enemies moreso than with our own natural allies. It can become very difficult or impossible to justify taking up arms in this case. And the other point I am trying to make is that God's morals are difficult to humanly enforce, and maybe it.is wrong to do so. Theocracies haven't worked very well in the last 2000 years. But still I think a lot of us American Christians worry about supporting our country when so much of its legal policy is immoral.
