The Universal Soldier (video)
Spencer W. Kimball: “We are a warlike people…When enemies rise up, we commit vast resources to the fabrication of gods of stone and steel–ships, planes, missiles, fortifications–and depend on them for protection and deliverance. When threatened, we become anti-enemy instead of pro-kingdom of God; we train a man in the art of war and call him a patriot, thus, in the manner of Satan’s counterfeit of true patriotism, perverting the Savior’s teaching: “Love your enemies…”
Spencer W. Kimball, “The False Gods We Worship,” Ensign (June 1976): 4.
