And here is why I don’t like calling myself a Christian. (ht)

What exactly did you find so offensive about McArthur’s comments?
It doesn’t seem to me that McArthur is doing anything of the sort when you brush him off: “he doesn’t really care to read the Bible.” The two texts he’s quoted here have been used by just war advocates in the church since the Patristic Age. Moreover if you’re unwilling to call yourself a Christian because someone made some comments is a little bloated. Perhaps I should feel the same way and not want to call myself a Christian because your lack of patience and charity is embarrassing. Just a thought.
Hahaha – Tom is dropping bombs on Nathan!
I think the problem with that conversation is McArthyr is using “just war” out of context. If anything, the Iraqs could use that verse as their line to fight against American insurgents in their country.
How can we justify invading Iraq, oh sorry, liberating them, on the whim of a line Jesus put out there.
I wish people would stop dropping the Jesus bomb every time they need to justify bone-head actions.
Just so we’re clear; I think that the war on Iraq is unjust.
Nate,
99% of the time your charity and patience is obvious and has been an excellent example to hot-heads like me. Blessings.
Tom
