you have done well to correct me here, richard.
my definition was indeed a little off. here in switzerland, where every man
must still do compulsory military service, COs have historically been given
a very hard time in proving their sincerity.
whatever the guide of ones actions, the conscience or the bible, you make
an excellent point about the danger of self-interest and rationalizations in
either case.
