I was going to stay out of this, but that comment just pulled me in like
nobody's business...

What is currently happening in Iraq? What happened when vast areas of Iraq
were being carpet bombed? Sure, they're not America's children, but they
are children nonetheless, and they are dying for no good reason but
misguided jingoism.

Any person who advocates war has no business questioning abortion. No war
is just, because the costs are always too high to be justified. Resources
be damned, didn't your so-called G-d say "Thou shalt not kill"? It wasn't
a statement with conditions, it was an absolute statement. That means to
not kill ANYONE. Doesn't matter what their religion is.

Screw the crap in Leviticus, those Commandments were supposed to be the
Word that is Law.

And then his incarnation on earth, who says to turn the other cheek, and
to give to Caesar what is Caesar's. By that, any follower of his should
both ignore aggressors and have no qualms about taxes.

And if you find any fault in this logic, I suggest you go back and read
that book you seem to hold in high regard.
