Would Jesus have supported the War in Iraq?
« on: April 05, 2010, 07:28:22 PM »
(From Ask a Christian Anything)
Do you think Jesus would approve of the war in Iraq?

I don't think that Jesus would have approved of the war in Iraq.

I think your wrong. But I'll leave it there. (So don't ask me to explain.)



Please do explain, CR90. I'm very interested as to your rationale.

Jesus (as his dad) supported a lot of holy battle in Iraq didn't he?

No. Jesus was a pacifist.

Jesus would have supported it because the people who are being ripped to bloody shreds are largely Muslim, duh...

Jesus supports America and America supports our troops.  End of story.  

Here is a short, noninclusive list of other things Jesus supports:
Pick-up trucks
Intelligent Design
Four Wheelers
Republicans
NASCAR
My personal sect of Christianity (an NO others)
Freedom
Kicking ass
Ice cream

The end result will be a country free from a dictator and the grip of fear. That alone, I think, would be the reason Jesus would have supported it.

That I can agree with.

Does it matter why Saddam was singled out first? The fact remains there's one less dictator in the world oppressing his people.

I am pretty sure that a literate Christian, who understands Jesus' message, would answer the question with a resounding: "No". Unfortunately, such a Christian has not posted here yet.

You do realize that Jesus will be the leader of the Christians in the battle of Armageddon, right? He is in no way a pacifist. It seems a true christian would have read their bible and know this.

How does this have anything to do with Jesus' support for an unjustified invasion and the killing of thousands of civilians?

Then why bring it up if you think it's an unfortunate side effect?! Face it you want the USA to look like war criminals. I don't hear you complaining of the Nazi's killing the Jews? Double-standard by any chance?

Are you really this dense? I can't believe you just said that I have a double standard and that I support the Nazis by not mentioning them in a thread about the war in Iraq. You are, simply put, a moron.

I think you avoiding the facts because you know I'm right. You want the USA to look like evil masterminds for collateral damage. From what I hear, the Taliban is famous for using Human shields, we can't help that they're the evil ones.

Why has the USA not gone to war with China, a country who executes political dissenters on a daily basis, why have they not taken out the Junta in Fiji or Ahmedenejad (sp?) in Iran? why has the US not intervened in any of these cases but was all gung-ho for a nation rich with oil?

I don't agree with some of the stuff he's done -a fair number of them, actually- but he was elected by a majority of Americans in compliance with all the relevant laws. When his term expires, he'll either seek election or retire, also in compliance with relevant laws.
