fight war, not wars

[benweasel]

So, a lot of Bush supporters are really against abortion because it's murder. Wouldn't you think they would be against war also? People certainly die in wars. I mean, yeah abortion is murder but so is shooting a human being with a gun or blowing up a home with a bomb. This just makes no sense to me. I guess it's ok to murder as long as the

you can be logical and christian.

another reason i almost didnt vote dubya is because of the death penalty. seems really contradicting with the prolife thing.

but i dont like kerry, and i dont like the other candidates... so i guess i really have no choice.

i'm really thinking about not voting in the next election. i hate politics.

A lot of people don't think war is murder. It's an easy viewpoint to take - one killing may be good, one may be bad. Some (read: most) people think it was a good thing that we stopped Hitler and ended WWII. That involved a lot of killing. Some (read: most) people think it was a bad thing that Hitler was doing to the Jews. That also involved a lot of killing. And yet one act is good, and one act is bad. Both involved intentional killing

I knew you would comment.

I think you misunderstood what I said. I'm not much of a writer. I did not mean to say I didn't want a president who was a christian. I just don't want one who uses his religious beliefs to make decisions that effect our life. And about me thinking Christianity as a illogical choice etc etc? Yes, you are wrong about that. I don't think that at all.

I know you'll argue with me about this(or anything) until death and I'm really not in the mood. You know I don't agree with you on a lot of things and you're really not going to convince me to. I've heard the argument.

Ok, maybe that isn't what you meant. However, you said: "I'm all for people believing in whatever it is they want to believe in but I don't want a Christian president." I still don't understand this statement, if you say that it doesn't mean what it seems to mean.

So, you also said: "Logic>God". What does that mean, then? What are your thoughts/beliefs on Christianity and logic?

Just because we don't agree doesn't mean we can't hold civilized discussion. I think it's more about understanding the other person's position than it's really about convincing them you're right.

Do you have anything to say about the other comments I made? The ones about murder, abortion, and campaign money, I mean. I'm just curious to see what you think.

[benweasel]

I have a lot to say but I have shit to do(important tests this week). So I'll TRY to keep it brief

[joshuagooch48]

i deleted my earlier comment cause i thought it was mean. but yeah, i pretty much agree with john in just about everything.

[avianchaos]

No worries, gooch man. I'll try not to say "stupid shit all the fucking time" anymore, if it'll make you feel better.
