== Criticism of Sun Tzu ==
Although Sun Tzu has some admirable strategies/tactics/philosophies, such as minimizing the breadth/duration of war, his advocacy of deception earned him critics among [[Confucius|Confucian]] scholars, [[Christianity|Christendom]] and others (The [[Bible]] repeatedly gives strong condemnation of [[Lie|lying]] and [[Augustine of Hippo|Augustine]] taught that lying is intrinsically wrong).<ref>[http://www.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2011/02/08/sun-tzu-the-enemy-of-the-bureaucratic-mind/ Sun Tzu: ''The Enemy of the Bureaucratic Mind'' by Walter Russell Mead]</ref><ref>[http://www.equip.org/articles/any-absolutes-absolutely/ Any absolutes? Absolutely] by [[Norman Geisler]]</ref> In the Christianity/[[theism]] vs. secularism [[culture war]], [[atheism|atheists]]/[[agnosticism|agnostics]] have often acted inappropriately and engaged in lies/deception (see: [[Atheism and deception]] and [[militant atheism]]).
