Holy Crap!, I have really tried hard to stay away from the latest round of political, religious reverent post but Bunda, that is the stupidest thing I've heard in my life. More humans have been killed in the name of Christ than ANY other religion. Throughout the history of Christendom and through out every period of expansion our religion has been either accept or die. We are a modern world now, and yes we should have more compassion, but lets have that compassion for those whom do not want do destroy freedom. Our war is not with the people of Islamic beliefs, but rather the fanatics that HATE anything that is not their belief.
And NO, he did not die in vain; Through him ALL things are possible! And I believe it is possible to put an end to this mad man and all others like him.

Nope! You nailed it right on the head. :thumb:
I also am a military leader and in my understanding, buy taking up an active role (besides politics) to oppose US policy as a US Citizen in a country we are actively engaged with you become a stateless person. If it comes down to open conflict, and are not killed but arrested they will be tried under Treason Laws. Take a look at what happened to John Walker Lind(? SP), the American Taliban. In warfare, collateral damage is an acceptable loss.
That said, I feel badly that innocents get hurt, but these folks in my mind are not innocent, they have chosen to actively oppose policy in support of a country that has a proven history of atrocities to their own peoples. Don't think for a minute that they wouldn't end up with a bullet it their heads if when the get there and oppose what Iraq is doing.
Finally, I am not loosing any sleep over them. A truck load of idiots is not going to stop what you or I will have to do if the word is given.

Senior, I very much believe in the Bible and the Life of Christ, but the truth is the truth. I suggest you read a little on the history of Europe from the period of the Roman Empire up to and even including the period of Renaissance. Europa or Christendom as history has shown through the Slavic, Latin, Baltic and Czech lands have been "set free" in the name of Christ for thousands of years! Does knowing the past make me a bad Christian? Does going to a mass, knowing that there are bad priests make a Catholic a bad Christian? I was only stating fact, not that I am proud of, only FACT!Originally posted by Senior KX Rider
Not sure what brand of religion you subscribe to if any but that is a bogus statement. A christian spreads the word and if people have nothing to do with it they are dealt with on the judgement day by the lord. The muslims are of the convert or die idealogy. :| Have you read the bible???? Don't make me start quoting scripture and showing the differences in the Koran
There have been many killed in religious wars but that is not the ideaology of the christians

Please don't equate what has been done in mans name to the sacrifice which was Christ's.
The issues we are struggling with now, are issues I struggle with on a daily basis as a committed Christian. If we cannot or will not follow the example given to us by Jesus Christ, then why do we even bother with our name. Being a Christian is not a walk in the park, it is not just believing or knowing that Christ is king, but it is walking his walk, living life to his example. Yes, not any easy task, much of which goes against our will, and common sense. Before he was killed, he asked his father that he be spared. He was scared, he was tormented, and yet he did what was asked of him - WHY - Next time you say the lords prayer, stop at the section "Thy will be done" - If you don't mean this, and can't get past this sentence with pure conviction, then you may as well stop there, and try something else.
Parroting, "Through him all things are possible" is pretty much meaningless, when in fact you do not, and will not "Do his will" ......... "not my will, but THY will be done lord !"
As have I, volumes! If you are so versed in the Christian crusades of the Baltic and Czech lands then you know what I posted to be the truth.Originally posted by Senior KX Rider
I have read extensively about the events that you speak.
You are correct in that Moslems, actually Islamics settled the reaches of Europa first, the Ottoman Empire, almost extinguished due to the THEN popular view of Catholicism or die! Remember protestant Christianity did not appear until about 1100AD.Why do you think the Christians were involved in that fight????There are far more writings on that period than there are on the muslim conquest of those areas that took place long before that. ;)
I'm always open to a new author.I'll see if I can come up with some info for you

See, there is where you are wrong. This is no democracy here :p for Okie and his band of thugs are the boss. And BTW, I'm not sure how one would "post as I see accordingly" :laugh:As a "Babbleling Thug," I will defend my posts and post as I see accordingly.

However, there is only so much we can do to help someone. Think of it this way. If we go to war it is because we believe Iraq has WMDs. We also think that Iraq's possesion of these weapons poses a direct threat to us. If we are committed to this train of thought then the thought of some pacifist liberal dying because he didn't have the sense to stay out of harms way, is acceptable to me. Compared to the thought of many innocents dying.

Senior,
Is your point more have died because of the Koran and being Muslim vs. the numbers that have died in christian wars? Or is the point concerning the ideaology behind each religion
That's why I asked. Seemed like you guys were on the same page, except for maybe a minor sticking point. ;)Originally posted by Senior KX Rider
I doubt that Dave and I are as far apart as it might seem. :)
