It seems to me that there is a major problem with the Christians who want to separate “sacred” from “secular” and yet not hold a pacifist view.  Here’s the problem:
If one really believes in the “sacred”/”secular” dichotomy, then government and relations between states/nations must be included in the “secular” part of it.  To then support any kind of involvement of one’s government with another government is to immediately deny that separation.  It is much like one advocating “separation of church and state” while also advocating a “Christian nation.”  The two sides are mutually exclusive.  Therefore, if one wishes to hold to the dichotomy, one must also adhere to pacifism regardless of the war.
