Wow, quite a leap from a discussion about warfighting in the Old Testament to calling me unAmerican.
You cannot compare waging war in the OT and then jump to suggesting we follow the peaceful path of Jesus.
You might want to check that.
Your knee jerk reaction to the blind following of the Koran vs the Bible tells me you cannot discuss human nature as you are hardwired against it. Too bad, because I enjoyed the discussion.
I missed this part...
Blame yourself for sounding like a ignorant (or sophist) liberal (including prohomosexual apologists) by arguing there are no distinctions btwn types of laws, and covenants, and concluding "The world has changed to the point where looking to a 2,500 year (+) manual is akin to the absurdity of the Islamist using a 1,200 year old book to run their lives."

Which is not what I explained, and instead your take is a presumption the flows from your apparently ignorant conception that following the Bible either means waging war as in the OT or pacifism of Christ, when Scripture supports separation of powers, and the just use of the sword by the civil powers, and of limited war, and peace treaties , and of basic universal moral laws vs, other types, the basic form of judicial system we have and means of judgement, and of the spiritual vs. carnal means of war by the church, etc. In contrast to the Qur'an.
It was your job to show that looking to a 2,500 year (+) manual is akin to the absurdity of the Islamist using a 1,200 year old book to run their lives.

Rather, it was your "knee jerk reaction" to my correction of your erroneous broad brush of warfare in the Bible and my remark as regards making war more antiseptic that is the problem, calling looking the Bible as being absurd, like that of Muslims (thoghh you added the word "blind").
Too bad, because I enjoyed the discussion.
Rather, it do not think you did, but I will leave you to your indefensible presumption if you like.
