keep your head up

Religious scholars have pondered this question 

for thousands of years.

Jews and Christians, Buddhists and Shintos disagree on lots of things, but nobody cuts off each other’s heads.

So what’s up with that? 

And why are we uncomfortable to discuss it?

Turns out Chapter 8 in the Qur’an addresses 

“The Spoils of War” and...

the 12th verse makes intention pretty clear.

The thoughtful reflect upon these quandaries.

I have a sword.

But I use it adjust the drapery.
