After reading Ernst Juenger's description of what WWI shelling was really like, recruitment reels like this come across as disturbing and creepy:

"I think I have found a comparison that captures the situation in which I and all the other soldiers who took part in this war so often found ourselves: you must imagine you are securely tied to a post, being menaced by a man swinging a heavy hammer. Now the hammer has been taken back over his head, ready to be swung, now it’s cleaving the air towards you, on the point of touching your skull, then it’s struck the post, and the splinters are flying — that’s what it’s like to experience heavy shelling in an exposed position."

Christians are totally unprepared to deal with a liar and/or hypocrite person

Dealing/recognizing a hipocrite is especially difficult since he/she say "reasonable things" but does the opposite/evil

Jesus message works to build a pelasant, healthy safe society if you manage to kick out the liars/hypocrites

What most people fail to realize is that righteous anger is both deadly and divine.

It comes all at once like a thief in the night.

Those who are righteous have nothing to fear.

It's because a large percentage of Christians read the warm and fuzzy parts of the New Testament, glossed over Jesus hulking out on street vendors defiling the temple, and completely skipped the Old Testament's rules, enforcement thereof, and smiting of evil that's required as the basis for a functional society. It's akin to reading the "How to fly a plane manual" and skipping the first half where they cover takeoff so you can go read about the in-flight cocktails. It's a good way to get yourself killed.
