Because the muslim terrorists do the same by quoting their Quran to justify their war, violence, and evil. Do not use the Christian religion as a cover to fight a war, it is against Christianity itself. I am for this war because I want to annihilate the terrorist enemies from existence, I want the terrorists all dead, I think that my extreme hate towards the terrorists and my burning desire to kill them all contradict a lot of my Christian belief and faith but I do not care I want them annihilated from this planet.

You are obviously scared to death that of them and yes, that is a faithless emotion. I don't see fear or anger or hate as any of the fruit of the spirit. I'm glad that you realize that this is out of line, maybe you realize that it is also out of line to not quote the bible under all circumstances.

Saying that war is against Christianity is just plain ignorant.

I am Christian and my belief is what Christ admonished and that is to pray for our enemies. I do that so perhaps they may not be destroyed. Christ set the ultimate example dying for all of mankind. War is part of this universe.

Christ said you will know them by their works. I see their works and their works are to destroy the USA and Israel, peoples that wish to simply live in freedom and peace. So I know which God is right and which one wants death to all humanity. I have no qualms as a Christian to annihalate the enemy but my belief is that I feel sorrow for the waste of human life.

If I were President with such beliefs, my message to the Muslims world wide after 911 would have been to choose sides. Choose the side of freedom and liberty or choose the side of death. That if you live by the sword as militant Islam does, you will die by the sword.

Jveritas, the Christian faith does not forbid all acts of war in every case, but it does forbid hatred, which leads to the shedding of innocent blood.

I mean to say that hatred of terrorism itself is justified (God Himself hates terrorism) but for us human beings to be motivated by hatred of other human beings leads sooner or later (usually sooner) to uncontrolled violence which is abominated by God.

"...things which the LORD hates,
which are an abomination to Him:
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood..."(Proverbs 6:17-19)

"Abomination" means God detests it, He find it absolutely disgusting.

So one must distinguish between actual armed combatant aggressor enemies, who need to be stopped by force, and the many others, millions, who are simply tangled in the coils of darkness and a false prophet.

That is not accurate. The large majority of Christianity has believed for many, many centuries that there are times when it is necessary to go to war.
