the Book of Five Rings

Some people have asked me if taking Kendo lessons is conflicting with my christian spirituality. My answer is simple - "No, it does not." Why should it? Just because I'm tactically training to strike a torso, slice a head, or chop off a wrist, that doesn't make me a bad person. Does it? Of course not!

Today is the day I pick up my sword. No, it's the day I pick up my sword and stand in the front lines. No no no. Today's the day I make my first kill. I know this is cryptic talk, but I suppose only I can understand.
