If you take the trouble to read this thread, you'll see that my charge of "acting like nazis" is reserved for those who are calling for the flattening of cities, and killing of the inhabitants therein, in retaliation for terrorist acts.

So do you think God was a Nazi? Because that is EXACTLY what He told Israel to do when they took a country. He even had their animals slaughtered to exterminate any future problems. Personally I like God's way of thinking, it works. If muslims were to take our country, I'd rather be dead and I hope they use the same principles. I'm not suggesting anything for them I am not willing to take myself, but then that is usually why its called WAR, and someone WILL win.

Ahhhh, the old "If you point out how my suggestion is similar to what the nazis did, then God must be a nazi" ploy.

Of course, the problem with that little gem is that it requires you to say that the nazis were in the right, lest you be caught opposing God. Too bad for you....

The fact that you don't recognize the differences, as well as the similarities, between situations is rather telling.

In the Biblical accounts, the basic story line is that there is no way for the Israelites to co-exist with the people who already lived in the Promised Land. For Israel to take ownership required them to fully displace the previous inhabitants. You might have noticed that we are not proposing to stay in Iraq -- we're not looking for a new spot to live -- so that parallel goes away.

You might also note that Christian theology has a very difficult time explaining these passages in any satisfactory way.

The Second Amendment is more and more important day by day.
