An interesting conundrum -- if a gunman points a gun at your head and says, "I hate Christians. Are you a Christian?" What do you say? I think a smart Christian says "I am a Christian."

If a carjacker were to jump into your car and say, "I won't kill you because you are not an American" -- would you correct them and declare your patriotism?

Love of country and love of God are not the same thing, but our Founders pledged their lives, their honor and their fortunes to give us this country. How quickly would we declare, "American? Me? Ha! I voted for Obama, man!"

I think a "smart" Christian says "no". But a faithful one says "Yes".

The victim told police he was driven to a Shell Gas Station on Memorial Drive in Watertown. Inside the car, the brothers “declared to [the victim] that they were the Boston Marathon bombers and would not kill him because he wasn’t American,” the report said.

Already, I’m seeing articles and posts that are beginning to show sympathy for the brothers. The younger will soon be a folk hero.

Anyone...anyone who does not favor the death penalty or that this should be before a military court is naive.

...of course what I would say...

...right after emptying my 2nd mag in their lifeless body...

...yep I'm a Christian, but unluckily for you, not a very good one...
