    Yes - because God condones killing, right? How far into the commandments do you have to get before you see the words "Thou shall not kill"?

    As far as it takes me to see U.S dollars with 'In God we trust' printed on them whilst pondering how many people may be being executed in U.S prisons today, and how many Iraqis may be wiped out today.

    Well that's a big stretch in logic - if you want to even call it logic. I'm a Christian and an American and I do not believe one bit that God intends for me to kill anyone.

    Doesn't everybody die sometime? In essence you could say God has killed every person whose ever existed if you want to take that logic. The commandments are for humans to follow.

    I personally don't believe that the words 'God' and 'logic' belong together in the same sentence.

    O.k. Nevermind 'God'. Do you think that if Jesus were around today that he would forgive Homosexuals, or that he would condone people being clinically snuffed out in the U.S prison system?

    Yes - I think he would forgive homosexuals and would not condone the death penalty.

    I know its slightly off topic, but what it really says in the Bible is "thou shalt not murder" but in the context of war, killing is allowed.

    But, that doesn't mean I support General Pace. Cause I don't.

    Because he inserts a disdain for God and religion into every thread we have no matter what the topic.

    Then I guess I have higher morals than the bible on that topic since I do not believe killing for any reason is acceptable.

    Ok. I don't know if they're "higher" or just different, but that's fine by me.

    Everyone should be able to have their own views on morality and life until it doesn't agree with the "correct" view of "let everyone do what makes them happy without anyone saying they don't like it."

    Who cares? So this guy thinks its immoral? Does anyone care that you can get kicked out of the military for adultery? What if its an open marriage? Still adultery in their eyes but hey..the married people are okay with it so why shouldn't everyone else be?

    Nonsense.

    For example; please explain how the following thread exhibits a disdain for 'God' or for religion...

    I'm willing to specifically say it is higher. Undoubtedly.

    Are you saying that God's word, or what a mystic has interpreted as the word of God is on par with what the general population decides to print on their coins and to use as justification to back killing?

    No. I was pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of what many American so-called Christains have interpreted and implemented as the word of 'God'.
