Kelly: In the face of such evil, pacifism is immoral

You confuse me with a pacifist. Nobody has ever punched my face though a couple have tried. Something takes over and I turn into a machine.

You also mistake me on justice. I believe in justice. I just don't agree that the point of justice is 'an eye for an eye.'

Let me restate my position. This article indicts those who by conscience are pacifists as immoral. My position is that you can be a pacifist and not be immoral. Clearly you are blinded by your rage and can't see my point, hence my rhetorical device has worked.

Dumbass < yet another rhetorical device to get you to act stupidly and immorally, clearly the pacifist's position is more moral than your own.>

Already did. :) The Bat Lady mentioned passing out flyers, so I offered it up.

What's that say about the religious in this country: priests, nuns, bishops, ministers, etc. It's a ridiculous slam at those who hold strong religious convictions to claim that they are therefore pro-terrorist.

If they are pacifist, they are objectively pro-terrorist. But it's a slam at priests, nuns, bishops, ministers to assume that all of them are pacifist.
