So, you're happy that Tiller was murdered? You need to repent and come to Obama. I am happy babies have been saved from being murdered. But are you happy that Tiller was murdered? (I didn't ask if you were happy babies have been saved from being murdered.)

I'm not happy he was murdered. Two wrongs don't make a right.

You need to repent and come to Obama. So Obama is you Messiah huh? Even if this is some type of joke it is certainly not a joke that a Christian should be saying. For the worshiping of another outside of Christ is not a joking matter.

What about the death of Hitler? The death of Tiller probably saved as many or more live that killing Hitler did. Was the death of Hitler a bad thing?

Civil war means a war fought by people in the same country--against each other. No, the first civil war was about slavery and states vs federal gov. etc. Yes, and the Southern States had a right to secede from the Union like the Constitution says. Lincoln was wrong to force them back into the Union. I totally agree.

Joey, I thought the same thing, just didn't say anything.
I guess, to me...I don't want to see anyone murdered but come to know Jesus Christ. If someone murders them....there is no chance of that.

I agree, the end doesn't justify the means.
But it does make me wonder how people create these complex "just war" theories and apply them only to other countries. And then there are army Chaplains and "evangelical" soldiers in some places!
But what about abortion? Can there be a "just" civil war?
I'm probably on the black list just for speculating that, but oh well.
There was a huge (completely justifiable in every way) outcry when Americans finally realized what was going on with the Nazis. Millions of people were being systematically murdered.
Here, right in our own country, millions and millions of babies are being murdered, and where is the outrage? Is it because we can't see the victims? It is because they are small? Someone please explain this to me.
I'm not for violence at all, but surely something more can be done, non-violently. What can we do?

Heather, yes, I think it is because the unborn children are small, have no voice, and aren't seen. In in the camps in Germany, we could see body upon body in photos, people who were skinny as skeletons, etc. With the unborn babies...none of that is really made public. Not sure why....government doesn't allow it?

There are many examples in the Old Testament where God commanded the Jewish people to kill whole tribes of men, women and children. Why? Because these tribes sacrificed their babies to pagan gods like Baal.

I actually agree with the just war theory(at least the way the Catholic Church says it) I'm saying we need a "just war" against the abortion nazis, but preferrably non-violent

Besides, you know the Gov. can read everything we type here. Why would I instigate myself unnecessarily?

IMO it boils down to the people....the general public. The more people who are Christians, the more pressure the government will feel to do "Christian" things.
Which is why I don't see things like abortion changing.....at least not anytime soon.

Which is why I don't see things like abortion changing.....at least not anytime soon. True Christians are scarce. 80% of American claim to be ''christian''. However only 40% of those that claim to be ''christian'', claim to be born again, and only 4% of those claiming to being born again say they have a biblical world view. So 40% of 80% is 32% of the whole and 4% of the 40% =less than 3% of the whole. So all though 80% of all Americans only about 2.5% seem to be actually following Christ. God told me when I was first saved 20% of those going to church every Sunday believing they are saved are actually going to Heaven. So according to that lets say that only the 40% claiming to be born again even know what a christian is, and that is 32% of the whole 20% of 32% is 6% of the whole. So according to these calculations only 3% to 6% of American are truly born again and following Christ.
