Good recovery. lol
Mrs Zip is the absolute finest, after all, she's put up with me for 40 years.
Trust me, Saddam and his regime were over due for a bit of vengeance. Now they are living it. But why am I telling you this? Maybe I should direct to Eustace.
Eustace, I want you to count how many time God has either had the Israelites wipe out entire villages and tribes, or let those tribes and villages wipe out the Israelites for being wicked. You can get back to me. I know it takes you a day or two to answer.
God punishes those that do not have good hearts, bring about others pain, and have no conscience about their actions or rebellion. He punishes them with devastating fury. I am not sure what book you are reading.
God also says to honor those political leaders that are placed over you...especially if they are God fearing people. Bush is a bit more God fearing than Clinton, no? So wouldn't the Dixie Chicks comments go completely against Gods word's? They bad mouthed their leader who obviously is a devoutly religious man...
America is not very far from China in respect to government control.
1. If they don't like what you say they can blow you out of the sky or burn you alive with your children.
2. If they don't like what you say they can put you in a mental institution or prison for as long as they like.
3. If they don't like what you say they can put pressure on you through the irs.
4. If they don't like what you say they can label you like Scott Ritter and there will be plenty of idiots to blow their horn , so in their minds they can sound intelligent.
5. If they don't like what you say they can label you a "terrorist" and detain you without due process.
Anyone who refers to our Constitution or is willing to defend our Constitution against the federal government or the UN is considered a "terrorist".
Now correct me if I'm wrong , haven't we lost freedom's in order to stop terrorism , no I mean in order to destroy WMD ( weapons of mass destruction ), no now I got it , in order to free the Iraqi people.
We don't matter and never have , the only thing that is important is that the illusion of freedom is kept up.
Because if American's , Red , White , Black , Yellow , tan , blue , pink or whatever , ever figured out that we are all after the samething , the Rights of man , a lot of aristocrats would pay for their lies.
WE are responsible for what's going on in the world , not Jesus.
We have never followed His lead and are paying the price.
If you lay down the "Law" to your children and they refuse to follow it , how are you responsible?
You talk about the innocent Iraqi's who died at the hands of Saddam , who we supplied with chemical weapons , but what about the innocent Iraqi's that America's corporate mercenaries have killed?
What , it's not our fault if the government says we must do it , we are only following orders so there are no innocents.
There's not a shred of evidence linking Saddam with Bin Laden , but history shows our own government was involved ( maybe not directly )with the sinking of the Lusitainia and the attack on Pearl Harbor , because it served a purpose.
And the first attack on the towers was orchestrated with the help of our fbi , whose only real job is to protect the governemnt in power.
So what gives you the right to kill innocent people and say it's okay , because my Jesus has never said murder is okay.
As far as "nice , nice " Christian's , I don't believe my Father in Heaven put me here to suffer at the hands of His enemies.
I will turn my cheek to another Christian , but will gladly expose and slay His enemies.
What do you believe?
Is life a trip where nothing you do matters.
Did we grow from ocean scum?
Everything you can get away with is okay.
If I'm doing the killing it's okay.
You can try all you like but you can't capsulize LIFE , and you can't blame Jesus for our lack of morals.
At one time God did appoint our government and we were supposed to support and pray for it. It was a Holy government.
But when Jesus opened Heaven to all of us , He gave us free will. How can you hold Jesus responsible for our government when most of America votes for what's popular , regardless of morals.
I want you to count how many times Christ has said to kill anyone.
And be careful electing yourself as the one , who decides who , who deserves vengence..
That's really funny stuff.
It must be great to keep yourself occupied , when you aren't keeping yourself occupied.......arsehole
OK, you're wrong. Happy now?
Look at yourself in the mirror and admit that you are a leftist, antiAmerican dimocRat whose only joy in life is being stupid and repeating dimocRatic spin.
And the first attack on the towers was orchestrated with the help of our fbi , whose only real job is to protect the governemnt in power.
So what gives you the right to kill innocent people and say it's okay , because my Jesus has never said murder is okay.
Did "your Jesus" say it is ok to lie about everything because DU said to do it? I don't think so.
Your lies disgust me.
Your contempt for American ideals disgusts me.
Your idiotic comments disgust me.
Your proTerrorist stance disgusts me.
As a matter of fact, I can't think of anything about you that doesn't disgust me.
OK, I'll bite, what's a sipri? Is that where you learn to sip koolaid?
We know .
Jesus is not saying, "Don't defend yourself when you are attacked" or "Don't help a woman who is being raped" or "Don't defend your country when it is being attacked." He is not negating the judicial principle of an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"; he speaks against the abuse of that judicial principle to justify personal retaliation or vengeance.

In the end you DO NOT ALLOW an evil dictator to continue killing. Saddam should have been stopped many years ago. We literrally could have saved hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives!
I want you to count how many times Christ has said to kill anyone.
I want you to tell me where Jesus said we should let dictators MURDER people. I want you to tell me where He said to leave them to their wickedness. After you come to your senses, I want you to tell me how we remove somebody with a million man army without using force.
Jesus allows us to have common sense. We have a Christian and moral obligation to go to war to stop murder if we cannot do it any other way. We have a moral obligation to defend our nation. We have a moral obligation to stick our noses in others business and ensure that men, women and children have the human rights that GOD HAS GIVEN THEM!
There is no Old Testament and New Testament. There is a Bible which was written by 40 authors and 66 books. It is to be taken as a whole. Your point of view lends itself to throwing out the Ten Commandments. After all, it is Old Testament. Jesus said "Love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself." (paraphrase) Does that mean that adultery is okay as long as you love God and your neighbor? I hope you say no. Jesus fullfilled the law...He did not change it.
And be careful electing yourself as the one , who decides who , who deserves vengence..
I did not elect myself to determine who deserves vengeance! God elected me and you and everyone else to protect the innocent, defend out beliefs and our nation, and to try and bring a Godly peace to the planet. Now, you and I both know what the end result of everything is...right there in the book, but that doesn't mean that we go sunbathe until God decides to come down here and do a little ass whipping of His own. Open your eyes, your ears, and your brain.
I don't lie , just because it's beyond your comprehension doesn't mean it's not true.
