"but not a word about the countless thousands killed by Saddam."
You haven't paid much attention to my posts then. I'm pretty much alone here in my belief that Saddam should've been killed when he was found last year, rather than getting his 3 meals/day awaiting 'trial', for the very reason that he's a mass murderer.
That doesn't justify the slaughter of innocents that apparently doesn't bother you in the least, though. I guess you think God just ignores the suffering of non-Christian children.
Looks like you've never heard of clinical paranoia.
There's no slippery slope starting with the Schiavo case, and the feds aren't roaming the streets randomly declaring people to be in persistent vegetative states.
For crying out loud. Have a beer. Watch some basketball.
Here's the quote "The ACLU has got to take a lot of blame for this. And I know I'll hear from them for this, but throwing God...successfully with the help of the federal court system...throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad...I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America...I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen."
The quote sounds quite different from your interpretation, IMHO, I'm not sure that mine is the one that is distorted.
So you are in favor of all those Old Testament Laws, too.? are you in favor of stoning adulterers Michael Schiavo, hmmm.
Many of our own laws are already based squarely upon Biblical law. Yes, some ceremonial laws have been changed (by God Himself) but that does not mean that God has changed in regard to His judgments. The New Testament talks much about his wrath (unless you want to excise that, too.).
You really have gone stark raving mad, haven't you? It is hypocrisy to deny God's role in the World when it is inconvenient to your worldview and then claim to know His Will when it helps your cause.
Thank you for including the word unintentionally. It seems an honest admission that your comparison is not entierly accurate. Now for the other half of the moral equivelence, please indulge me in a hypothetical:
On his way to work, Bob decides to stop for donuts. Thus an aggresive tailgater, Jack, was finally able to recklessly speed on down the street -- with the timing neccesary to run over and kill a three year old girl.
Neither Bob nor Jack intended to cause the death of the little girl. However the collective actions of both did in fact cause her death.
Morally, I think we would all agree Bob is blameless, and Jack is at least partially guilty of her death.
The question is why? What makes the distinction other then intent?
Today we're going to learn about satire. Can you spell satire?
"So you are in favor of all those Old Testament Laws, too.? "
I very clearly stated ONE law, not 'all'. Your reading comprehension is almost as poor as your ability to jump to conclusions.
"You really have gone stark raving mad, haven't you?"
Says the guy hurling 'Nazi' invectives...
I don't think I hurled any personal invectives - calling anybody a Nazi.
THERE IS ONLY ONE REASONABLE CONCLUSION:

Does this apply to all who are not on board with you?
Even if we stipulate that "TerriRepublic" is nothing more then the rabid mob bigotry you imply, what useful purpose is served other then an emotional validation of your arguments based on an ad homonym fallacy?
"because you are believing the liberal lies about the number killed."
I certainly don't believe the conservative lies that noone is being killed.
They aren't lies, btw. Ask the thousands of orphaned children where their parents are...or ask the thousands of grieving parents why their children were shredded by cluster bombs.
Hell, just visit some foster homes/orphanages in this country to see real neglect that continues while self-righteous people like yourself wring your hands over the death of Terri.
And the irony of you calling it a "fallacy" on this thread is simply more than I can bear...
What's funny (to me, anyways) is that in a recent newspaper interview, Judge Greer proclaimed to be a 'conservative Christian'.
You can't make up irony like that.
