Thought the argument rather frail as well. Point goes to Botox in suggesting a follower of Christ needs to be neutral, either that or you run the risk of bombing your brother. No wonder the bless the bomb servants of government are increasingly despised. Seems a bit of a stretch to " Love thy neighbor as oneself", then engage in warfare against that same person, just cause their respective governments deem it required.

I agree. After that huge Tsunami in the Far East, my very religious mother-in-law claimed it was God's will...lol

< God would say is that the German Christians allowed His people and their brothers to die and thus should be punished."> You can usually easily notice the real extremists by those who are all into the OT eye for an eye, sin and guilt (more of the gothic Catholic) retribution, and/or punishment instead of love and forgiveness. Somehow they missed the most basic teaching(s) of Christ: Message 25632556 Personally, something as simple as this; consciousnessproject.org kept in mind while reading any "teachings", like the bible, allow one to interpret things much better... including simply throwing away all sorts of crap... especially in the OT. Notice how many bible thumping TV preachers or even hate talk radio stations you would immediately turn off simply by using the chart. DAK
