RE: What is ignorance and why should it be combated? | Что такое невежество и почему с ним нужно бороться

Congratulations for this interesting article. Just one thing about the first example you give, when you say: "...The priest sanctifies the murder weapon. In the conditions of war, such behavior would be appropriate." I have a doubt, even in the conditions of wars, why should a priest sanctify a murder weapon? -- thanks (Spaciba moi droug)

Greetings.
About the actions of the priest. Defending your country during the war is a just cause.
I try to explain.
Even if you practice ahimsa, then pass by someone who is attacked is considered a bad deed. You must protect the offended and punish the offender. Otherwise, you are practically equated with his offender, encouraging his actions.
