In the event of a war would you rely on GOD to save you or run for a shelter ?

When we are fighting some war for a just(?) cause does God protect us or we fend for our selves while fightin to preserve the name of God ?

Update:

If God gave us brains to think,run and protect our selves, why not than the warring parties with God given brains are stopped by God from fighting in the first place ? If God has the power to save people from dying than why dont he use his power to stop the war alltogather ?

    God has never stopped humans from killing each other, so I'd be heading to a shelter.

    I was on the front lines throughout the entire World War Two . I never prayed to God when the shells came in like a rain storm . My only thought way killing Schweinhunds . And I did - - - many .

    Good solid Americans have always defended our country,

    do you not comprehend the songs our soldiers and their families sang and still sing today "God Bless America". The words compliment our faith, disciplines and dedication and declaration of harmony.

    May God Bless Us All

    I would do both. Pray and run for shelter. I have heard of miracles on the battlefield. But those are hard questions. Why do some come through safely and others now, when both are praying? We do not know that answer. If we did, we would be Gods.

    Neither. I would thank the Lord for the shells as I load my shotgun and then sit back and wait for some fool to come on my property. Red Dawn time, baby!

    God would lead me to a safe place and I'd go! Thanking Him all the way! Of course He protects, our nation hasn't been attacked during this whole course of things!

    God gave you brains and the legs to run. If you just sit there then god would probably say it is time for you to come home to him. But if you run God would probably say run faster and go there. You just have to be smart enough to listen to what god tells you to do. !!!!!!!!!!

    There is no God and you run toward the enemy not for shelter, after all you want to win the fight, right?

    God can protect me just as well in a shelter as anywhere else. You know, if you gotta face the lions, then you just gotta. But throw your life away?

    I'd run to the shelter, and then thank God for giving me the intelligence to have built a shelter in the first place..... and the strength to stop laughing at the liberals who I wouldn't let in :)
