my pastor said that people are being to cute with their sins. he said we need to make war with our sins and our problems. he told us the story of weeds growing outside the church on the patio that he hated seeing and he was being cute, squirting the weeds with round up. he then said he thought he got it but he came back and he didn't. so he bought massive bottles of round up and dumped it everywhere! he said there's no weeds in a 12 mile radius of the church. what is your take on making war reference? what do you think it means? give some examples if you can, thanks!

Too many preachers are totally in love with militaristic imagery, which has kind of made religion an ideological extension of the military industrial complex. It also shares a mindset with Muslim thinking (jihad specifically), which I find ironic in today's environment.
Roundup, btw, is banned in Japan. Don't know the specifics, but that is what I have been told by my ex-girlfriend's family, who are farmers there. It seems like your pastor is making an argument for pollution of the environment, which is completely wacked.
