The one thing Bush didn’t do was pander to the PC crowd. In fact, it really didn’t exist much then. Obama is the king of PC. It’s really at the core of what he does… everything is someone else’s fault and that someone else is the rich or the white population. Bush wasn’t a divider. Obama has done everything in his power to divide us among racial and economic classes. As much as Bush was destructive in growing government, debt, and failed wars; I think this doesn’t come close to how destructive the intention dividing of the American people has been.

What would make these PP attackers feel they are doing "God's work"?
I believe there's a group of anti-abortion nutters called "God's Army". Why do you think that is?

You are taking that as me saying ALL Christians when I clearly was addressing those that have a fundamentalist view AND believe killing abortionists is justified. Are you denying that there are some who believe that way?

well that sounds familiar......
but
PC didn't exist back prior to obama? are you kidding me? Rip VanWinkle is that you?

On an individual level, no different. Justifying murder based on a fundamentalist view is the same no matter which book you use to justify it.

But you said this was caused by us going to their land and bombing them. That is not what this is about. If you don't believe me just read what they say. We don't have to guess what they want, they are happy to tell us.
Thank you. It really is distressing to see that otherwise reasonable people don't seem to see this.
IMHO Chris will never get it ... he had a bad experiences with some Christian Hypocrites, therefore they are all the same

Maybe there are secular arguments.

Fundamentally, Christians are to love, not kill, our enemies. So calling people who kill abortionists "fundamental" Christians is inaccurate.
Fundamentally, Islam supports killing infadels.

Yes, they're not Christian. They may think they are, they may claim to be, but fundamentally they are not.

'fundamentally', yeah killing the infidels is in both books. there is also contradictory info about the subject in both books.
thats exactly what muslims say about terrorists. :shrug:
Got an example?

really? this has been gone over a million times. Are you areguing that the bible does not contain passages about killing the unbelieving scum on the other side?
I guarantee there's nothing in the New Testament. It even suggests you bless the people who are killing you. While they're doing it. Gives examples.
The Old Testament has lots of commands for killing, but not for being "infidels". God makes it abundantly clear that even his OWN people were deserving of his wrath - and he showed it to them. Often.

yep, typical answer. you refernece the conflicting information but cant explain away the OT, it is the foundation for christianity.
Yes, typical RESPONSE from you - no examples. You do get the idea that the Old Testament and the New Testament are different, correct?
You do get the whole "you have been told... but I tell you.." approach that Jesus used often, in his ministry? The Old Testament was given to a lawless people, and they followed it.
They were told there would come a time when they would not NEED the law, just as children don't need rules from their parents.
Jesus came to teach them the whole POINT of why there are laws - he explained that there were rational, reasoned times to BREAK the law, such as healing a man on the Sabbath.
That you have laws, but they're not necessary when the law is already on your heart. That mercy triumphs over judgment. These are all direct quotes.
So the New Testament is the *fulfillment* of the Old Testament.
I'm often reminded of the passage in Douglas Adams "Hitchiker's Guide" where Arthur Dent prayed there was no afterlife - but then realized it was a logical impossibility. God is so often judged as though he both existed - and does not exist.
