True Christians would not lie to cover up for their criminal negligence and failures leading up to the attacks of the 11th September 2001, which killed thousands of innocents.
True Christians would not ignore other countries human rights abuses, in order to get their support for a so called "war on terror".
True Christians would not lie, and decieve their people into believing that another nation posed a "clear and present danger" in order to initiate an attack on another nation which would kill innocent people.
True Christians would not ignore torture and abuse, and would not attempt to make excuses for the scumbags who carry out that torture and abuse, and those who ordered people to torture and abuse captives.
True Christians would not argue about legal niceties, or their role in helping their own countrymen, women and children following a natural disaster. They would offer their help unconditionally.
True Christians would not deny help for those in need.
True Christians would speak out against those who speak with a forked tongue. When those who claim to be Christians don't act in a Christian manner, then Christian leaders must speak out. Church of England Bishops have called on Christian leaders to speak out and publicly apologise for the Iraq war. It's long past time for true Christians to speak up.

I really don't think Xlinton is a Christian. He worshiped the pagan phallus, I believe (note kneeling supplicants). We're just having a hard time forgiving him.

Mmmm-kay. Well, which is it, young feller? I thought we were unilateral, and didn't have any other country's support.

Remember, skeezix, YOU put "clear and present danger" in quotes. Who are you quoting? Certainly not President Bush. I believe you got this one from the Kool-Aid Fax Talking Paper Distributors. And I believe you forgot to say one of your cult's favorite imaginary adjectives: "Eminent." You didn't mention Halliburton, but you may be new at this. I'll let it pass this time.

Ummm -- we didn't ignore torture and abuse. Saddam is in jail. His two worthless wastrel sons are dead. We closed down the rape rooms. A new mass grave has NOT been started since...well, I guess you could say since before we were there.

Yes, that is quite true. Blanco and Nagin really don't seem like Christians, do they? And I thought Louisiana was a predominantly a Catholic state, too.

See previous post, dear.

Your "Christian leaders" can do whatever they please. Our secular government (which happens to be run by a Christian man), is prohibited by our Constitution to be run by the Church, "of England" or "of any other country"
The bishops say the British government is not likely to show remorse, so the churches should. The proposal for a public apology comes in a new report, in which the bishops plead for more understanding of what motivates terrorists.
Bishops of the Church of England are calling for Christian leaders in Britain to publicly apologize for the war in Iraq and its aftermath.
We were nice for 8 years of terrorism and turned the other cheek. They attacked us anyway. REMEMBER, WE WERE NOT IN IRAQ ON 9/11/01.Well, then, Zippy -- what is the point of all this?
The report criticizes Western democracies as deeply flawed and accuses the United States of dangerous expansionism.
EXPANSIONISM? It's funny that Brits want to scold others on EXPANSIONISM. Don't admonish us on this one. Obviously we're not as versed in colonial behavior as you are.
The bishops cite a long litany of errors in the West's handling of Iraq -- including its past support for Saddam Hussein, its willingness to sell him weapons and the suffering caused to the Iraqi people by sanctions.
The whole Saddam thing was in a vastly different milieu. Soviets were involved, remember?
Yes, sanctions. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't sanctions usually the method of bleeding-heart types that want to want to initiate a non-violent persuasion.
And let's discuss Oil-For-Food-Money-For-Kofi. Or not. You must be so tired by now.
However, the bishops say it would be irresponsible to withdraw British troops until there is a secure Iraqi regime in place.
Most people around here don't refer to the clintons as "true christians", so why are you bringing all their faults to our attention with this post.
IBTZ!
True Christians don't troll.
True Christians try not to be single posting, blasphemous, hypocrites too, but you seemed to fail at that one also.
Any church that wants to "plead for more understanding of what motivates terrorists" is one that I will withdraw my membership.
Let me guess. Your not Baptist, are you?
....you dont even get a zot graphic.
Actually a true Christian wouldn't judge others because of their beliefs. There is only One that knows if you are a true Christian or not. And that is God!!
ROFL! You're cute when you preach.
Buh-bye.
LOL - certainly not ForkedTongueFReeper.
True Christians will pray for you, witness to you, welcome you to join them, and only kill you if they have no other alternative, with great regret.
A good question BB!
ROFLMAO - thanks for the chortle this morning!
I think that's where the division occurred - see, ours continues with "unless they say something bad about your mama, or kick your dog."
Well done!! LOL
Can I get in on this thread before it gets pulled?
Arrgghhh, scurvy dog!
And how about those who support abortion? Or euthanasia?
I only have to answer to God, not anyone here on earth, thank you.
And I cannot sit in the eternal life judgement of others, either. There is only 1 who can do that.
I know you've already been zotted but it's obvious you know nothing about the teachings of Christ. You might want to check out when he thought it was necessary to take up the sword.
I get so tired of these idiots who think Jesus was some namby pamby, limp wristed, peace at all costs type.
Actually, this point came up in our local discussions. We felt that since we are the arbiters of what constitutes "harm" then we're covered.
"Listen, bub! You've got about four seconds to rephrase that remark. Ah cain't count very high!" -- You see, we have the enlightened perspective that allowing such churlish behavior to go unchallenged would be inherently harmful to the churl, and that it is incumbent on us to educate him in that regard, for his own safety.
... in pure loving friendship, of course.
But what about the turn the other cheek -- I always assumed that meant that someone who attacked me verbally should summarily be mooned. Any thoughts??
