I've always felt there's something inherently psychopathic about joining the army in peacetime. As far as I'm concerned, people join the army to find out what its like to kill someone. I hardly think that's an inclination that should be encouraged in modern society, do you? Jesus Christ didn't think so, either. And the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" does not have an asterisk beside it, referring you to the bottom of the page where you find a list of instances where it's okay to kill people.

That's a tricky one, all right. But we're hardly being invaded, though, are we?

Why you are a fucking priest at all? You should be a fucking accountant or a fucking insurance man!

You have to detach yourself from it. We're here to provide solace. Your personal feelings don't come into it.
