There can be no misunderstanding that Jesus' mandate to love is uncompromisingly opposed to the mass slaughter that defines the character of war. But because so many have distorted His teachings, our country has been allowed to launch a campaign of death & destruction to destroy all who refuse to play "the game" according to our rules

This county better wake up soon and realize satanic worshipping puppets run it. Skull and bones and Bohemian grove members to name a couple. Their judgment will come and there is no way around it. Democrats and Republicans both have turned their backs on the American people. Chistians don't kill! Its time everyone stopped eating the brainwashing garbage they feed us every day. You can disagree with me its your right to but please do not line up to get your National I.D. card next year I beg you not to please! We are one nation under God not nazi Germany. Next will be the chip then they might as well make you wear a leash. Do some research collect your own opinions and views but please do not believe their spoon-fed garbage. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU stop listing to them! Trust in Jesus Christ for that is the only way you will be saved. STOP THE POLLITICS! Be AMERICANS and STOP them from tearing your constitution with our God given rights up for FAKE National Security!

"For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. -- Romans 13:4"
When the bible says sword it is referring to the sword from your mouth. The word of God. Read revelations and the sword of Christ.
"Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?" Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." -- John 18:10-11"
Jesus was telling him that he would have no power over anything if God had not created him. God gives power to man to make choices, but how you make the choices is how you are judged. God allows you to have power but what you do with that power is your choice. With out God you don't exsist.

this is great but I wish we'd talk about the other side of the ball too. There are PLENTY of fake christians doing as they wish and hiding behind the cross but we also have a threat facing this country with folks waging war while waving a (Koran). Both hostile factions are minorities...in reality if both groups followed their prophets we'd be sitting around talking our differences out and leaving our assault rifles out of it. But hey if you wanna think ONLY the christian nut jobs are the only threat I wont stop ya-but that is only a small portion and a narrow naive view of the grand scope of what is going on.

I so wish we could all break the bonds these tyrants have held over us for centuries. We march along, working, striving, dieing as the Kings of the world snap their fingers.
Our world is in so much trouble and from an "old guy" perspective I thought we would be so far removed from hunger and war by now. We can do it still if all the ants would wake up simultaneously.

Most of the Dominionists pushing for Armegeddon have their faith rooted in the Old Testament. Christians that are truly Christian follow the Sermon on the Mount as their guide. If that sermon was followed we wouldn't be killing,stealing and hating.

Next week, the bizarre story of the Christian cult and its curious beliefs.
The Christian cult infests much of the world today. Members of this cult hate gays, pagans, atheists and anyone else not in the cult. They claim to follow the "Lord of Love" or "Prince of Peace," a 2,000-year-old dead Jew in whose name they have engaged in countless murders and atrocities. The Christian cultists are known to practice ritual cannibalism, insisting that the bread and wine they eat is human flesh and blood.
Reasonable people are advised to stay clear of them.

Danny456 the president voted for war and consider themselves Christian are they?
People are Christians if they believe the things that were espoused by Christ...
Believing is not enough. True Christians live as Christians.
Bush invaded Iraq based on lies. That is not a Christian trait!

Not much has changed in two thousand years. The children of the devil, the enemies of Jesus the Christ, are still alive and well, doing what they know best: divide an conquer, promote war and stand against peace. Real Christians know their scheming and deceptive ways and will not be deceived by false teachers. Jesus himself warned us about the time that would be coming(Matthew chpt.24), not many today take that warning serious, will you?

"I plan to spend the remaining years of my life interrogating God..."
Too Right Mate. I'll just bet that Good Old God is just going to appreciate the Hell out of that!
