Do Soldiers go to Hell?

[DarkHippie]

This question has been bothering me for a while now, even before the War. Killing is an inherently evil act. There is no religion in the world that condones relgion. I think all people feel inside of them the evil of taking another person's life.

So a person that kills for a living--no matter what the circumstances--isn't that evil? Or are you exempt if you kill for a good reason, like if your mom was being kidnapped?

What if your reason is because your commander told you to?

Does being a soldier free you from the accepted morals of society.

I cant decide. Help me settle my soul

basically if you're fighting a just war, it's ok. (very condensed answer.)

[Doogie]

Do you send people to hell whose only job is to protect the people of their nation?? Who sacrifice all semblence of a normal life to make sure that citizens can sleep well at night?? If a person is doing the duty especially to protect lives and property is that person a sinner?? Or is it rather that people that allow wars to happen who go to hell. That is how I view it.

I know these questions are tough to ask considering the state of affairs now a days. I see a soldier as one who is upholding their duty, as long as that duty is to protect the people and state they are protecting. If a soldier deviates from that duty to settle some personal vendetta or to cause intentional harm, then yes they should go to hell. Most soldiers will go out of their way NOT to cause uneccessary damage to peoples property, nor harm to citizens.

[JPMNICK]

does anyone go to hell? i doubt that there is some place that bad people go to. i think soldiers, like everyone else, just die and become part of the earth again

[DarkHippie]

Do you send people to hell whose only job is to protect the people of their nation?? i guess that's the heart of the question: Do good intentions absolve you from actions you may have to take?

He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

If you go strictly by the 10 commandments, then yes, it's a sin to kill no matter what and you'd go to Hell for doing it.

is god in hell for killing all those people in the bible?

[Tallman388]

I guess it really depends on your point of view. Shirley Phelps Roper would tell you that they do, then again that stupid church of her father's got stuck with a bill for $2.6 Million today.

Some churches go with the whole "if you ask for forgiveness, it will be granted" deal, so I guess it comes down to asking for forgiveness.

[Fezticle98]

Perhaps you should speak to your spiritual adviser.

In Catholicism, there is a thing called the Just War Doctrine. I would guess that some other religions have a similar thing.

Does being a soldier free you from the accepted morals of society? No. But the accepted morals of our society allow for killing during war or self defense, or even capital punishment, for that matter.

Anyways, fuck society's morals. Morals are a personal thing. Laws are society's thing.

[donnie_darko]

my favorite part of your question

"There is no religion in the world that condones relgion."

I would have a lot more respect for this question if "hell" wasn't involved.

for someone to go to hell would mean there would have to be a hell, and lets be honest with ourselves and just admit the idea of god is far too basic of a premise to be real.

and a better question would be are soldiers sent to an unjustified war, to protect a country who was never in peril, "go to hell"

you are obviously a religious person, would you feel safe coming home from war after killing countless people, knowing someday you may have to defend these actions knowing your country was never in jeopardy?

I think this question is more about morals than religion. I think that there is a universal relgion--compare to the Collective Unconscious--that all people understand in their hearts. And i believe that in that universal relgion killing is evil.

Part of this is because i want to support the troops. But how can i support them if i belive that what they do is evil?

[lleeder]

Doesn't this whole thing stem from what side your on? People we fight and have fought in the past thought they were just as right as we thought when the war started. Just because we are fighting someone doesn't mean that GOD is on our side. We hope he is but we don't really know that we are right or were ever right about anything. Staying away from current wars and politics, let me ask you, Are the British soldiers that fought us in the Revolutionary War in Hell?

I would say that you are wrong in assuming that there is a universal religion and collective unconscious. I would agree that everyone asks themselves if there is more out there than what we can see or touch. Your personal beliefs are what they are. The bible is not clear on this issue like many others. I would submit that anyone who has ever killed another human being has a heavy burden on their hearts to carry with them for the rest of their life. What that does to them after their time is up on this Earth, I can not say.

Well, they killed people, and killing is evil. I don't believe in hell, i dont believe that there is any spirtual justice other than what we initiate, but i do belive that they committed evil, and if there was a hell, they would be in it.

I feel guilty for my answer. I know so many people in the service. It hurts to come to terms with what i've been feeling.

If you believe that what they do is evil, you shouldn't support them. In fact, if those are you're beliefs, then you should be out there protesting against them, not standing idly by. Why do you want to support the troops? Guilt? Popular sentiment? Fear?

Thank god for those "killers" back in WWII.

[Crispy123]

How can you say killing is evil? Evil is an idea, an abstract thought. Animals kill each other all the time, hell plants even kill. It is a part of the natural world.

Exactly. And like it was pointed out, how can some divine entity that kills untold numbers of living things whenever he/she/it feels like it just decide that "killing is bad?"

Exactly! by going to war, the greater good was served. But a lot of evil has to be committed for that to happen. So do the soldiers get a pass on the things they did because it was for a good cause? Do the ends justify the means?

[Kris10]

Do the ends justify the means?

Its like economics

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Well, if you really wanna be strict with the Ten Commandments, the whole "Thou Shalt Not Kill" thing was basically saying this: "Thou Shalt Not Kill (other Hebrews)". It was just fine to kill Philistines or Romans or whomever threatened the ancient tribes of Judaism. Those tribes being that from which the whole Ten Commandments originates from. So technically speaking, if that whole thing was what put you in hell, then I guess the Nazis are fucked and the Allies are fine.

An interesting paradox to this whole thing of course is King David, whose name is revered in Biblical tradition. The man came to Kingship after joining with the Philistines as a mercenary to oppose Saul. Israel's spiritual leader Samuel may have loved David and hated Saul (who was political king of the Hebrews), but that does not change the fact that David led his people's enemy against his own people- and it's hard to imagine no one was killed in the process. Once he acquired Kingship upon Saul's death, he turned around and smashed the Philistines.

Does King David go to Hell?

[PapaBear]

If you go strictly by the 10 commandments, then yes, it's a sin to kill no matter what and you'd go to Hell for doing it.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that some translations say that the commandment is actually, "Thou shall not murder". Murder is a legal term and killing in war is not murder.

[zentraed]

For the day to functioning of our society, killing is bad. It's economics: killing leads to uncertainty and instability. However, when there are people out there who kill, then we have to be prepared to confront them to maintain our society.

Ultimately, there is no right and wrong or good and evil. It's just what are your goals for society, and what rules allow you to achieve them.

What ever happened to Abraham? He passes God's "test" of his faith by attempting to murder his son on God's command. He's now held up as one of the great prophets by three of the largest religions and yet, if any individual today were to say to his neighbor "I'll be right back. I'm just taking my son up to the hills to kill him because God told me to in a dream," we'd rightly think he was insane and punish him accodingly. Instead, God stops him at the last second and gives him a kingdom of men and people celebrate his act of intent to commit murder. Do the doctrines of Christianity, Judaism and Islam teach that Abraham's in heaven or hell, and how did God treat him in the end? I honestly don't know.

[nickeye]

Dante and Virgil see Ulysses in the eighth circle of hell. He's being punished for developing the strategy of the Trojan horse during the war.

[Midkiff]

This argument would make sense if there were actually any such thing as an afterlife.


But anyway, Bible-thumpers think it is OK, because th Bible does say you're supposed to go to war if your leaders say so.

[JPMNICK]

does a doctor go to hell if a patient dies and it is deemed to be his fault?
i think both cases are occupational hazard.

in the case of the military, in terms of who would go to hell, would be the person who sanctioned the killings. that is my opinion

[Coach_Mac]

First of all, the things you do in life good or bad have nothing to do with you going to heaven or hell. Second, there are wars throughout the bible and God helped His people win some of those wars because they were truely fighting in His name...not saying that we are now, we are not. God is for whatever glorifies Him. But killing someone is a sin, lying is a sin. A sin is a sin equally.

[Dougie Brootal]

i guess that's the heart of the question: Do good intentions absolve you from actions you may have to take?

the road to hell is paved with good intentions.


its questions like the ones asked in this thread that really reinforce my belief that there is no god. killing is killing whether done for duty, profit, or pleasure. and the bible says killing is wrong no matter what. i cannot condone a religion that condemns soldiers who protect our freedoms to hell. and if the church says that soldiers dont go to hell then in my mind it invalidates all the commandments cuz why do people get a free pass for the worst one?

so to answer your question, no soldiers dont go to hell. and they dont go to heaven either. no one does, its all imaginary.

[Furtherman]

How can you say killing is evil? Evil is an idea, an abstract thought. Animals kill each other all the time, hell plants even kill. It is a part of the natural world.

There you go. You've only assigned an "evil" label to killing. It's survival of the species. You can argue which killing is worthless, worthy or even necessary, but those are all traits humans have given the act. The act itself just is. There's no right or wrong in it's most primitive form. We're all just objects in this universe made up a package of atoms and gravity which keeps us from scattering in the wind.

Hell is abstract idea given the same weight as Heaven. We all want to live together in a productive way, well then act this way and you get to live forever happily, and if you act this way you'll live forever unhappily. It's simplistic bullshit.

We have the means to kill. Thinking of hell is just a waste of your time and the short life we have. The only thing that matters is that if someone is going to kill you, will you be able to defend yourself by killing them first.

Can you pull the trigger? Survival of the fittest. Can't? Thinning of the herd.

The sooner you drop any superstitious myths that were taught to you as a child, the better off you'll be, or you'll find yourself an old man wonder how does that fat man get down the chimney.

[Team_Ramrod]

There's too many differing opinions to get a good answer from this question...
You'd have to consider the religion of the person, the beliefs of that religion, and of course the reality of a heaven and a hell.

In my opinion, they are fighting for their country, this is their job. They fight for all those who can't or won't, to allow them to live like they do.
To sacrifice like that would immediately put you in heaven (if you believe there is one).

Whatever the truth is.... They are held to a higher regard in my eyes than pretty well any other profession.

A soldiers duty is to protect the life of not only the country he swore allegiance to, but also to protect the people of a country that they are at war with. I know it sounds like a bizarre concept, but you dont harm the civilians of a country you are at war with. Now if you are being attacked by them (ie, during the invasion of Okinawa) you have a right to defend yourself. But generally you want to protect all citizens not directly involved in the conflict.

[TheMojoPin]

What about people that only stare at another man's boner, but don't touch it? Does God hate him like all the other gays, or does he only dislike him a little bit?

Anyways, fuck society's morals. Morals are a personal thing. Laws are society's thing.

but where do you draw the line between personal morals and society's laws?
many people's personal morals conflict or overlap with laws...
i dont think moral subjectivism is the answer

[Yerdaddy]

But you've defined the subjectivity of morality right there: each person has his own definition of moral questions regardless of the legal views of the same issue. If a person is drafted and he ponders his moral responsibilities in whether to submit to the draft based on his views on the rightness of the war and/or his views on this question of Biblical sanction of killing in war then he's acting on the fact that morality is subjective.

[A.J.]

Whoa. Dive right in:

Killing is an inherently evil act.

=

I think maybe ya mean murder, but dont let me put words in your mouth, maybe ya mean killing. For me, death is as natural a part of nature as anything. Nature thrives on death, and nature is, as Gould describes it, a 'A Beautiful Killing Machine'. So, for killing stuff; hey, things gotta eat.

=

Someone else mentoned that since the bible commandment is 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' any killing = hellbound. I think modern versions of the bible translate it as 'Thou Shalt Not Murder' again; to differentiate two very different things.

An aside, the Bible God does a colossal amount of killing in the bible [passover, flood]; and orders people to kill. Example: God orders people to stone to death a man who collected wood on the sabbath.

=

I dismiss the archaic good = heaven bad = hell; there is some reward for good behaviour and the bad get punished in the afterlife; none of that rings true for me now. Truly suck scumbags sometimes go through life on Easy Street, and Good and True people get the shaft every day. Vice versa is true too; just showing that in my opinion, Nature is Cruel but Fair.

Cruel = She we get you. There's no escaping your date with dirt.

Fair = She doesnt care who you are, how rich you are, if you're good/bad/indifferent/young/old.

=

We're this brand new species with these brand new brains and this brand new technology, and War has always been with us, it's how things get 'resolved'

The worst thing to happen to war is the distance between killer and victim.

Wow about 5% of this is relevant to the Q
