Does this sound like John Paul II? Hardly. I can't understand why you would defend this?

There is a history to CG's build-up to this point. I'll share with you a brief excerpt from his last correspondence with me:

I suspect I am headed for a permanent ban. That is not my goal but I think that might eventuate. With every fiber of my being, I am opposed to this UnJust War and I will do what I can to register my complaints/objections. I supsect that will draw a permanent ban. C'est le vie.

I am not only just running my mouth. I have been thinking about what I had to do to oppose the war and Doc has mentioned fasting recently...and recent scripture readings have focused on Nineveh...and I was rereading The Didache, where Wednesday and Friday fasting (every week)is noted and the course of action became obvious.....Total Fast (just water/fruit juice) every Wednesday and Friday in reparation for Sin...my own, the priest's scandal..the UnJust War waged by my Gov't...

There is legitimate Christian discussion regarding the Just or Unjust nature of this coming war.

It is not anti-American to discuss it.

If that is the editorial position of this Forum, they're simply wrong. It is not anti-American to discuss it.

I appreciate CG's convictions and passion (even though I diametrically opposed to his views) but his post (example give to you) is out of bounds given the purpose of this forum.

If he wanted to be banned to make a point against the, he succeeded. You shouldn't be surprised. In a similar manner those who decide to be human shields in Iraq shouldn't be surprised if they need a great pair of ear plugs.

There is legitimate Christian discussion regarding the Just or Unjust nature of this coming war.

Absolutely.

But there is no excuse for the ranting and raving CG did in #3, which was nothing more than an overwrought personal attack on George W. Bush.

He equated Bush to Hitler. That's an ignorant assertion.

He also said that the war to oust the Taliban in Afghanistan was an "unjust war." Not even the Pope was that squishy.

I like CG when he confines himself to religion.

He is, politically, no different from the communist peaceniks who demonstrate in the streets.

IMO, he wanted to get banned, since he could not enter into a discussion about the war in Iraq without invective.
