I respect the sentiment, but in the Old Testament, God took no crap off of evil. He turned his full wrath against it. Using brutal force in retaliation against evil isn't evil itself. It's just desserts. If heaven itself can bring terrible destruction to bear against the purveyors of evil, I don't know why we can't as well, acting in the name of moral good and freedom, not to mention the defense of our country's very structure.

Well said. But can we presume to act in God's stead? That is the particular that vexes me. Does God exercise His wrath personally, or through our hands? 'Gott Mit Uns' comes to mind. And factor in the New Testament.

Please, let me be clear here. I would personally like to administer the only sort of message that these people understand. I am not the least bit sqeamish, I was eating lunch when I watched the video. Seen gore before, seen this kind of crap before. But as a Christian, my first priority has to be to set aside my personal feelings from my 'past me', and do what He wants.
