What Would Jesus Do?

Jesus loves Iraqis too.

Using Jesus as a representational image of morality, yes, Jesus loves Iraqi's too.
Jesus loves ALL people. (key word is "ALL" and includes even the worst criminals)

Yes, sky, He loves ALL, but criminals that continue to live in sin seperate themselves from His love, not the other way around. Innocent Iraqui children are not living in sin. But the ones who have done this injustice to them (Bushco) are !

Sorry Yank, your your post wasn't that specific.
Even if the sinner seperates them selves from that,
Jesus doesn't love them any less for it.
The sinner simply chooses to not accept it.

I see it exactly that way.

Jesus and His Father's love is unchanging for us. It is up to us to accept the fullness of it all.

Those that sepperate themselves from that love, are choosing to not bath in all it's Glory.

Sortof like hiding from the sunshine. Retreating into the shadows doesnot make the strength of the sun's rays any less. Just the impact of them upon yourself.

Dont tell me you are just another bunch of constitutional christians who have discarded reason in place of blind faith.

Don't assume Oceania.

I am not religous, not even a little bit, though I am spiritual.
Though religion requires spirituality, spirituality does not require religion.

Even so, I have no problem with people who choose to be religious. To each their own you know?
It;s not my thing, but who's to say? At best, I see no harm in it and at best, I see no harm in it.

The Fundimental Christian Right Wing, otherwise known as the American Taliban being the exception.

There is a lot of goodness that comes from American Main stream Religion.
Lets not knock on that simply because it isn't our bag.

Sorry if i offended you. Im finishing reading "The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason" by Sam Harris, a philosopher from Stanford, in which he articulates on the irrationality of religion.
I do understand the difference between spirituality and religion. Just recently I have become irritated with religion and religious organizations, but not spirituality.


Also just literalism, taking books (i.e. Bible, Koran) word for word - or even taking them out of context and applying them in inhumane ways like waging wars. Other religions are fucked too, like the ones that condone female mutilation and general inequality.

Sorry to get off on the wrong foot, I just wasn't too please seeing a "WWJD" post on a polilical forum.

That's what I said sky, but thanks for re-inforcing it

Religious have freedom of speech rights and rights of assembly in this great nation too, even on this forum.
Religious rights are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights , a very "political" document.

I only placed it here because it was a Video, and I was hoping the conversation would center on the IRAQUI CHILDREN & that they are not "second-rate" to anyone else's children to be bombed and warred upon by a so-called "Christian", that is what the Video is trying to convey I believe.

Next time I'll place it under heading "Society, Religion and Education".
