<<Yes, I do not recall Blair claiming Saddam could launch WMD's in 45 minutes>>
Well let me refresh you on that.....
"24 September 2002, House of Commons
Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, Saddam has continued to produce them, he has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be deployed within 45 minutes."

<<You have dodged the question. Do you really believe Christianity requires pacifism?>>
You can follow his word and by definition be a pacifist or you can claim to follow his word and condone war and torture (such as yourself) and by definition be a hypocrite.
"Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
but I say unto you, resist not him that is evil:
but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."
Matthew, Chapter 5.
<<Have you given any thought to the ethics are you just pretending to be concerned with ethical considerations like the leftwing atheists who infest this thread?>>
You lend no credibility to your opinions by expressing yourself in such an uneducated manner.
Isn't it ironic to think that if Jesus Christ were alive today and preaching his same message that you would have no option but to label him an unpatriotic, anti-war lefty?!? The culture of intolerance and the bipolar world of liberalism versus conservatism that you are so obviously consumed with is counter to the most fundamental Christian values of love, peace and tolerance.
The further your political idealogues drift from the Christian values they proclaim the more desperate your grasping for justifications of their actions seem.....case in point from yesterday,
<<Torture is clearly a lesser thing than actually killing people.>>
This is the reasoning by which you deem it to be acceptable.....because its not as bad as killing!! Very interesting..... |
