I find it odd that one cannot avoid military service for the following sensible reasons:

• The war in which you will serve is illegal.
• You don’t think it wise to kill people of all ages and sexes on the other side of the planet who are no threat to your country.
• You don’t want to be killed or maimed.

However, you can avoid it by claiming you believe an invisible, imaginary man up in the sky will torture you after you are dead if you participate.
