<<It's not a red herring since you have said: To be a true Christian definitely requires a commitment to pacifism...>> Yes it is a red herring as you conveniently left out the final part of my sentence from the post you linked. Full paragraph being.... To be a true Christian definitely requires a commitment to pacifism but how many true Christians do you know?? With the exception of MOST clerics we are all in many aspects hypocrites. This would be me agreeing with your assertion that its impossible to be both. See, this issue was resolved between us thereby making it a red herring whenever you referred to it after said resolution. <<OK, I will answer no.>> Thank you..... <<First, I do things inconsistent with Christian principles from time to time in real life>> We all do, this is part of who we are....the nature of the beast. <<Second, my statement above had nothing to do with political idealogy.>> Seeing as our whole discussion on this matter stemmed from your defending Cheney's lobbying for a CIA exemption from McCain's anti torture bill as being an arguable issue morally (post # 190335) one might assume that political ideology is an integral part of our discussion? <<You can feel free to condemn me as a horrible Christian or even a non-Christian. I won't argue that issue>> The glasshouse that I'm in is extremely small and besides that is not my goal. I'm trying to understand your rationale for letting your political partisanship overrule your religious ideals....sorry if I made you feel that way.
