Anyone that agrees with or believes that Red State cr*p needs to SIT DOWN and RE-READ the New Testament.

Jesus was a pacifist. He said "love your enemies and do good to those who persecute you".

Even though he struggled with it in the garden the night before he was crucified, he WILLINGLY subjected himself to that cruelty and shame and disgrace and torturous death.

Some like to say that the incident of Jesus throwing the "money-changers" out of the temple proves that he would agree with war. That is SO FAR from the truth that it is crazy.

The money-changers were using the Temple for their OWN gain (sound familiar?) and they were also cheating their customers (sound familiar?). All that had NOTHING to do with violence or war or vengeance or retribution.

ANYONE that 'uses' Jesus and the God of the New Testament to justify war and torture is no better than the Pharisees of Jesus' day. The Pharisees USED 'religion' to gain power for themselves and over others, and they twisted the Old Testament law to benefit only themselves. Jesus called them "white washed tombs full of dead men's bones".

  Hypocrites and Pharisees they love money and power but hate people.
  
  Pretty much the opposite of what Jesus Christ taught and still stands for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  Love your neighbor as you love yourself being the second most important thing one can do.
  
  How do they justify their lies with that.
