There are countless horror stories because this one simple rule is ignored. There is no "unless"... People can carry on waging wars, they can be in the military or police, and they can defend themselves and/or loved ones with lethal force. They just can NOT do any of these things AND claim to be a member of one of these faiths. They would be lying to themselves, and whatever God they believe in. That is why I gave up after 4 years of seminary school. I could not live with that lie.
God did not make man to be infallible, as a matter of fact he created a system in which we are born with a sin upon our immortal soul. That is why confession was created for man to confess his sins and be absolved and still be able to enter the kingdom of heaven. So the simple fact the a man sins is not a concrete eviction from the faith never to be able to reenter. Of course is this thread which was started as a tribute to a kind soul that has sacrificed her life we want to threadjack into an argument about religion?
