Lying there, he realized that if he did not do something about it, this animal was going to kill and eat him. So he got up, grabbed the dog, and beat it to death on the same ground on which he had just been lying. That is the Just War theory in brief; you can also read St. Augustine's version if you want, although its history has been mixed. In the Peace Church version of the story, my friend lay there virtuously avoiding violence and was killed and eaten. <br /> Whichever version is chosen, I believe that you are quite right that the proper objective of the UU group is different.LinguistFriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695715246663202212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-50172080834414470782009-05-23T17:53:31.467-07:002009-05-23T17:53:31.467-07:00Thanks, Robin.
