He's not killing anyone. In case you forgot evil muslim terrorists attacked us 911 killing over 3,000 innocent people and injuring thousands more. He sent our brave troops in to take out an evil muslim terrorist dictator who butchered 1.5 million of his own people. Then more evil muslim terrorists came to kill our troops. Now we are killing them back. That is called war.

W is trying to be peacemaker, or have you been sleeping? :confused:

Just because W says it is a good cause does not mean it actually is. You must see it from other perspectives.

I am not a terrorist sympathizer, but the reason the fundamentalists attacked the US is because they put a "Jihad" on the US. A Jihad is a holy war to protect their religion and their way of life. When the US influence was everywhere and was demoralizing their culture, a few Islam extremists wanted the US and western influence influence out of their country. By staying in the middle east, america is only feeding the flames. We think the Islam extremists are evil, they think we are evil. There is no right or wrong in this war.

Sandy, do not say that we will kill every single terrorist out there. It is not going to happen, there are simply too many and too many forming with al-quaeda.

What about the Iraqi children that Americans killed due to the orders of the Bush?

Because they are American Christians and American Christians have a different understanding iof the Almighty than the rest of the world. Particulrly among Christian Pentacostalists of Fundamentalists here there is a distorted view of Christianity. It is a belief that closely parallels the Book of Job where a strong faith in God rewards the believer in Earthly material goods. Here in America a best seeling author/preacher Joel Osteen speaks of settling for material mediocrity as almost a sin. There is also a heavy reliance on the Old Testament with God smiting the Israelite's (America's) enemies. Preacher's typically dance around the New Testament's more austere doctrine of forgiveness and humility by carefully quoting short passages severing them from their contextual meaning and interpretating the passages more attune to their own doctrine.

More traditional churches such as Presbyterian or Episcopalian largely stay out of politics, also the case with the Catholic church with the exception of the abortion issue.

There is not an honest dialogue regarding religion in America. Why that is the case is hard to say. Perhaps partly because each faction in America both religious and secular have made tacit alliances and unspoken agreements not to criticize one another.

The picture above showing dead Afghan children is tragic. Aerial bombardment kills indiscriminately. There are no such things as smart bombs experience has shown. Aerial bombardment is at least the immoral equivalent of terrorism. But that is my view. That is not the view of most governments and that is why it persists.

Most religious people and especially christians follow a faith of doctrine and dogma without ever scratching the surface of their own true spirituality; right and wrong has to be preached to them blindly regardless of source or outcome. Their allegiance is to a mallable god created in man's image.

God himself does not advocate these laws.

The Bible leads us to believe that he wiped out the entire population of the world at one point...in a great flood.

The Hebrew deity upholds St.Augustine's concept of a 'just war'.

Bush probably reckons the mass murder of Muslims simply doesnt matter...theyre all going to hell anyway right???

That's completely wrong. He lied about weapons of mass destruction as an excuse to invade Iraq. I take it you know he supports dictators who see things his way.

Hypocrisy, oil and dollars make good bedfellows from a Christian perspective, it seems

And to add insult to injury, they invariably argue that non-believers cannot be moral.

As to god's malleaability, wouldn't it be fun if Thor gave him a good hammering
