With a war raging in Europe and threatening nuclear holocaust, we are besieged with questions of conscience, like: What percentage of Americans are conscientious objectors to disobeying the Ten Commandments? Nearly all our neighbors are COs to some forms of immoral behavior. Conscientious objection is almost universally observed in some fashion. Yet conscientious objection to war is treated like a strange idea from another planet, notwithstanding the insanity and depravity of war, which multiplies the sins of human nature on a frightening scale.
