    Why do you advocate war but insist that all humanity are created in the likeness of the God that you supposedly worship - surely the natural conclusion to this would be that you would advocate the destruction of God himself?

    And if there is an eternity, how long would that be?
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      Excellent question John ,I await Chicos response with interest.

      If God does destroy God, then who should we turn to ?

        I do not advocate war in general however some wars are just - i.e. war to act against an evil aggressor e.g. Hitler, Saddam et al. God made us all in his image which means we have the freedom to choose a path of good or to choose a path of evil. Example if person X exercised his free will to go butchering people randomly then surely it would be just for Person Y to use whatever force to subdue him? That principle also works for countries. Lets not pretend that evil people/terrorists rogue nations exist - they do. So what do? Do we just stand aside and see people brutalized or do we take a stand?

          So what do you plan to do against the US?

            What if person X is doing this in "God's" name? Think Crusades...

              Well I will point Person X to the New Testament particularly to the Sermon on the Mount.

                Chico, you have a passage for every occasion, but then again so the book is suitably ambiguous to give you the amunition.
                You keep telling us how you live by the book so justify your support for war against "thou shalt not kill" and "turn the other cheek" oh tulip, I have been trumped with "an eye for an eye". It still says you must obey the commandments though fzzzt does not compute brrrrrpppp fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.

                How is one supposed to decipher such hypocritical teachings?
                I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                  What if he a different Testament? Why cannot he point you on a verse of the Kor@n for example? Do you assume you are right and he is wrong to understand what's the book of the truth?

                    Of course the person is wrong if he disagrees with Chico.
