When President Bush decides to extend his term indefinitely, I'll join you in protesting... until then, it has VERY LITTLE to do with our president

Chavez is fast becoming a dictator with a messiah complex.



Very little except that one part? :D

Not a very Christian thing to do.



That shalt not kill...unless the priest thinks we ought to?



I wonder how he backs his position biblically. I don't think he can. I think he's way off base with this one. I know he mentioned in his statement that it would save a lot of money & people by taking the easy way out but I don't think that jives with his Christian background and teachings.

Not a problem if your perspective is aligned with the Kallend wind.

For those who don't see the analogy (you know who you are - maybe you don't now that I think about it) here's a more obvious version: Pissing INTO the wind is very frustrating, pissing in the wind may not be so bad depending on what direction you face.

Apparently you have clear memory displacement when mention of arab abuse against arabs goes, as you are always outraged for the abuse of palestinian and have refused to discuss facts.

Really trying to understand your openness about the subject....as I am sure you won't respond to Falxori with convincing facts....

Urban II had no problems with that. I'm sure Robertson can muster up some similar justifications.



Ok. Same goes for him. I don't see how he could justify it either. I don't care if he was the Pope.

Can you please stop referring to Kallends "Wind"? I'm starting to feel a little queasy.....:|

I can easily see _how_ he justified it. It's killing in the name of God; the bible is full of examples of holy battles where there was clearly a God side and a non-God side. Some people take every word of the bible as law or guide.

Let's keep it in the context of assassination Bill. There is justifiable killing in war. However, this is different. We're not at war with this guy. He is the leader of a country whether we like how he got there or not. I think you'd be hard pressed to find in the Bible where it would justify killing under those circumstances. You can't just lump sum it all under the umbrella of "killing in the name of God."

FYI- Iranians are not Arabs.
So I know you think my opinions are based on my race but in Iran they actually don’t like Arabs much. Offcourse I am not specking of every one in Iran but a general stereotype. Arabs not viewed in a good light.

That being said. I like to form my opinions on facts and history not what the general population believes. I also like to look down the line and see what caused an event not just the event it self. You really need to do that. You seem to just see one event and not the 100s of events that lead to the one you witnessed.

I have tried talking to you many times. But I have had better and less predictable conversations with one-cell organisms.;)

?? I don't. You asked how someone else might. Some people see little difference between killing one leader and ten thousand soldiers. Heck, some might see killing the one leader a more moral option.

Maybe we should just quit crossing forums and stick with one, otherwise you would have seen my response in regards to your ethnicity.

I doubt the sources you are basing your opinions from, perhaps you are reading way too many newspapers that only reflect the hatred towards anything US or Jewish, otherwise you could have clearly have seen that 5 arab countries did try to eliminate the state of Israel, and there was no other solution for them but to fight them.

I understand your hatred for US and Israel, and your position of actually siding with the side of these nice terrorist blowing themselves up. Hence the arab-israeli conflict will be hard to stop, considering they have to deal with close minded individuals reflecting the same kind of feelings you reflect, hatred and revengeful....

Nice try at insulting me, but hey no problem, I'm pretty sure that soon enough I will be sending your regards to one of your relatives.:P

I didn't ask what certain people's opinions were. I asked how they would back it up Biblically. I don't know. Do you?
