Michael Moore is an idiot. A flat out idiot.

But to be fair, neither of them in this “battle of the theologians”? understands the teachings of Jesus.

Moore is nothing more than a steaming pile of dog squeeze that knows how to spell.

I am VERY careful about what claiming my Lord and Savior would do. Since Jesus is God I would say, “Look at the Old Testament and what God did then”.

Anytime there is any news about Jesus as in the “Jesus Seminar” or like this, etcetera, it always piques my interest.

Neither side (Michael Moore and Todd Starnes) is going to fare well on this: one side (Moore) uses Jesus with a straw man argument, while the other side (Starnes) presents Him as being akin to the God of War, Ares.

What Would Jesus Do if he could be a sniper & save soldiers lives by shooting 'savages' in the back?"

Number 1: He'd hide on a rooftop and shoot the savages in the back.

That was easy! Gimme another one!

I want to see a reality show in which MM is forced to go into a bar filled with SEALS, Rangers, and USAF Special forces.

He has to stand on a table and yell out everything he has said about the armed forces.

Michael Moore calls snipers "cowards".

I'd like to give Moore a semi-auto rifle with bayonet, say a good proletarian weapon like an SKS with the "civilized" 10 round magazine, point him at the enemy and tell him to take him on, "face to face, man to man!"

I've only had to make one "fix bayonets, over the top, Marines!", on-line (no, not Internet!) assault. Thankfully, we got to an empty trench before having to use the bayonets. One time is enough for me!

Reach OUT and touch someone, say 100 yards, 200 yards, 500 yards is fine with me!

Michael Mann just might come to the same conclusion.

In Fat Boy’s imagination - Jesus would also counsel women on getting abortions and would promote gay marriages at the temple.

1.) Jesus did say “You have heard it said ‘an eye for an eye’, but I tell you ‘Love your enemies...’”

2.) With that in mind, there is an argument for Just War against radical extremists, which most people know about.

And with that in mind (2) neither side will win in this argument given (1 and 2).

Michael Moore is an idiot that uses Jesus in a Straw Man setting, and Starnes presents Jesus as being akin to the God of War, Ares.

Not sure why his remarks should even be dignified with a response. Let them stand for what they are.

"MM always digs the hole just a little bit deeper."

And, perforce, much bigger around...

"....the only solution is to kill enough of them...."

The better solution would be to kill all of them....Then you don't have to worry about how much is enough.

"For every Michael Moore there’s a Gary Sinese or Clint Eastwood."

Really?
In your world, there's a 1:1 proportionality between Hollywood Libs and patriotic conservatives?

REALLY???

Jesus, being kind and gentle, will probably delegate someone else to kick his sorry @$$ down to h377.

I respectfully disagree. I believe that God Himself will greet Michael Moore when Moore faces judgment.

It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them. - Deut. 32:35
