    have you ever read Stephen King's 'Needful Things' ?

    If you have, then I have a question..

    Would you be one of the Christians that want to impose their Christian values on others so much that they go as far as shedding the blood of others to protect what they believe in?

    It's just that, you know, you support the war on Iraq, and though the 'riot' in Needful Things is only between one Catholic church and one Baptist church, it made me think.. so i was just wondering

    oh by the way, the book Needful Things is awesome

    First I would like to ask a question of you before I get into your question.

    How do you know all Christians are Rep. and for the war?

    Isn't it true that you want to assume that so you can still have your biast opinion about Christians and Rep.'s. Isn't this just a loaded question trying to either discredit a Christians view. Isn't your questions imposing your view on Christians, in a way you are ptotectinmg your beliefs through blood shed. Maybe not real blood shed but your starting a fight over something I see as well retarded.

    Your Questions:

    1) No I wouldn't be one of those, I combat/debate against those Christians like that. I tell them they are giving a bad name to Christians world wide and making it harder for other Christians to share what we/they believe to be true.

    2) I don't support any war. So your assumption that "you support the war in Iraq" is wrong.

    3) the book Needful Things is a great book but I prefer "The Stand"

    Have you read the stand, it is an awesome book that deals with good and evil. If not you should check it out.

    Firstly, I dont appreciate you insulting me, or accusing me of trying to start a fight.. I was asking a question.. Some Christians are extremely fanatical, and are willing to shed blood over their beliefs.. Also, I was aiming the question at people that support the war and are christians. I didnt say christians are all republicans, or vice versa. I just wanted to know how people can support the war and claim to be Christians at the same time. That's all

    Secondly, yes I think I may have read The Stand lol

    Lastly, I do not have a 'biased view of christians'. Quite the contrary. I simply don't believe in Christianity. How does that make me biased?

    The difference with your first post and your second post is that you used the word some before Christians. In the first post you generalized all Christians as Republicans and for the war. You do have a biased opinion on Christians because you unfairly clumped all of us together.

    biased

    adj 1: favoring one person or side over another; "a biased account of the trial"; "a decision that was partial to the defendant"

    I think when he said "One of the christians" that meant pretty much the same thing is some christians

    It has been over three years now and my mind is kind of fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure the guys who started this sh*t were muslim . What's going on isn't about religion it's about people being able to live in a democratic society. There was some misinformation presented at the beginning of it that wasn't helped by the corruption of Saddam & the UN. Democrats & Republicans voted to enforce the UN treaty that was violated by Saddam.

    Stephen King kicks ass, but no matter how much of the kind you smoke- it's still fiction.

    Kid-

    I never thought of it that way. So I thank you for correcting that over sight.

    Ghostoker-

    I appoligize for the over sight. I should hav been paying more attention to the questions then thinking of my reply. Again I do appoligize and I'm sorry in both meanings of the word. Sorry bastard for picking apart you post and missing a point. And sorry I insulted you.

    Howdy GhostToker,

    I've seen the movie but haven't read the book.

    If you're wondering would I bomb an abortion clinic or shoot an abortion doctor-no I wouldn't..but if in the defense of someone or for our country-I would shed the blood of others-but not to impose my beliefs,it's up to you to decide what you believe-I ain't gonna force you to believe anything..certainly not with the use of violence. I ain't gonna go out and beat up any homosexuals either or atheists..etc. I wanted to kill the 'man'(bisexual),that molested my 4 year old daughter-instead,I sent him to jail. I know where he lives now-but I won't stain my soul by killing him . Instead,I just make sure he complies with the sexual offender laws of Texas.

    I support the liberation of the Iraqi and Afghanistan peoples from their brutal regimes and the use of force to do so,because the alternative is far worse. Terrorists and the brutal regimes that support them-need to be crushed-America and our allies will continue to do so until they stop like Libya did or until all the brutal leadership is replaced with a democratic society that no longer harms the Free World.

    I support the use of diplomatic negotiations first-but if that fails..as it did with Iraq and Afghanistan-then the use of force is called for-as was called for by the UN resolution,that was passed unanimously by the Security council-in regards to Iraq..the liberation of Iraq was legal. The destruction of the Taliban,was legal as well,,because 3000 people died in an unprovoked act of war at the WTC..and that made all terrorists and the regimes that support them-fair game..including Saudia Arabia and Egypt-if need be.

    I would really rather that diplomatic negotiations would succeed and that no one else would have to die on either side..but that's usually not the case with muslim jihadists.

    But your forcing other to beleive what you bleieve sine you did vote your president in, You are respoinsible for his actions, and if your attakcing another country becase your rpesident told you to, then your really imposting your rpesidents viewing on the country in attack. Beucase your attakcing him for a reason, ebcause you beleive your movtive is correct.
