Last I checked we didn’t “declare” war.

Well, I think we should withdraw all Methodist Bishops from Iraq, they tend to get in the way of our bullets.

So much for:

"As He died to make men Holy - Let us die to make men free...."

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

-JS Mill, 1863

Absolute nonsense. Christ teaches us the evil must be opposed, not appeased. Pacifism is not moral, it is the empowerment of evil.

Oh yes, these evil doers.

I mean because building schools and risking lives to protect others just completely goes against the teachings of christianity and should be considered ‘warfare’. /sarc

I’ll let these liberal fakers in on the 411. Christ is going to slay millions of the anti-christ’s army with the Word of His mouth. And Christ will throw the anti-christ and the false prophet alive into the lake of fire. It’s going to be a war, but the fighting will not last long.

When they call 9-1-1, do they ask for an unarmed cop to drop by?

When did the Methodists merge with Code Pink and how did I ever miss that story?

They want Iraq to have the kind of society that will torture rape victims.

Yeah, well I call for immediate withdrawal of my letter from the so-called methodist church... as of LAST YEAR.

The United Methodist Church is inclusive to everybody but Jesus.

Their idea of Christian love is to abandon Iraqis to be slaughtered by Islamofascists. They overlook the fact Iraqi Christians have been martyred for their faith, too. Treasonous scum.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Dear Methodists:

Following Christian beliefs is not a suicide pact....

They want to kill us or convert us, I say you can go down like a lamb, for me, I guess in the end, I'll have to beg for forgiveness..

Se le guerre.
