I wouldn't be so sure about that. There are direct and obvious contradictions, in addition to acts that most of us would consider barbarous(no need for major research, the sanctioning of collective punishment is evil, that judgment stands on its own. It also contradicts the "sins of the father shall not be visited upon the son" idea.)

However, I respectfully back away as this will not be resolved by us. Besides, more than likely if I were to ever take up arms, I'd be fighting alongside you, so certain things have a way of being of less importance down the line:)

Well...not really. You see, we are collectively punishing Afghanistan for harboring Bin-Boy. I don't call that evil... I call it consequences of a choice their leaders made when they refused to comply with the demand to turn him over and dismantle the Taliban. In the same respect, God gives us choices. If He were evil... He wouldn't. He'd just thump us off when we did something wrong. *chuckle*

It also contradicts the "sins of the father shall not be visited upon the son" idea.

This is taken out of context. It refers to a personal relationship and not a collective relationship.

However, I respectfully back away as this will not be resolved by us. Besides, more than likely if I were to ever take up arms, I'd be fighting alongside you, so certain things have a way of being of less importance down the line:)

It may not be resolved by us... but it's FUN! :) (sharpens my wits, dontcha know) My hubby just hates it... *chuckle* Cheers and have a happy TG!
