"In the garden, God set aside man in his image to order the cosmos – by killing the Evil One who was Chaos"

From an essay by Pence several years ago in which he explored male sacrifice, the priesthood, and the Christian nation:

"The Church, whose founder clearly states that His Kingdom is not of this world, remains unarmed.  The Christian nations who are of this world, however, must fulfill the obligations of those in civil authority – to employ force when necessary to insure justice.  This is the vocation and the duty of the Christian nation: we are the fence around the temple, the armed men of Joshua surrounding the priests who carry the Ark.  It is essential that prudential judgment, not pacifist bias, determine the use of the Christian sword."
