My guess is that these people are already freedom-hating socialists and are trying to twist Scripture to justify their beliefs.

They have no qualms about attempting to use God to make people think their anti-God philosophy is the right one. And they are counting on the Bible illiteracy of the American public to be able to successfully deceive a lot of people.

The people who preach "nonviolence" while they condemn America for protecting itself are the very same people who praise armed communist "revolutionary" movements. They also are sympathetic to Islamist terrorists (I don't think they would come out and say it but they seem to view Islamofascism as a "liberation" movement).

I think you're absolutely right.

A theologian pointed out that at the moment Jesus was arrested, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Peter cut the ear of the slave of the High Priest.

Jesus told Peter to put his sword back in his sheath, he did not tell him to throw away his sword.

There is meaning in words, and many seem to forget that.

I remember getting into a debate last year with a woman from my parish about the Iraq war. She thought those protesting the war were the courageous ones, and this was not a justifiable war.

I countered that the courageous ones were battling the terrorists, and that freeing millions of people from tyrannical rule was a good thing. If an opinion runs counter to their argument, then it must be "un Christian", and not worthy of consideration.

She was reduced to calling me names. You're right, as long as it suits their needs, they can justify what ever they want.
