How can one be against a war that punishes those who bomb innocent people in churches and schools?

Hating Bush is more important then saving lives to most wacko leftist people.\n\nThe leftist in this country backed Hitler also, so their love for murderers like Hussein is nothing new.\n\nDid God save the Jews, or did U.S. service men? idiot.\n\nNobody said that murder loving idiots can't speak their minds. Did anyone say that?\n\nSome people are just racists and put a price on human life, some people think all human life is equally important.

God is not this vicious being that punishes people by casting them into Hell for their sins. That is a made up tale by religious that wanted to scare the crap out of people into submission. The only Hell that exists is in your concsious when you pass over. Every one of God's children are given the opportunity to go Heaven (or the Light, whatever you want to call it) as long as they can see the errors that they made while on Earth..yes, this even includes some really horrible people (Manson,Hitler). Everyone has a shot at redemption. If people choose not see acknowledge their misdeeds and refuse to go with God, then they are left wandering about in their own self made dillusions and bitterness until the time they are ready to be councelled.

Good question!\n\nThe obvious answer is, a terrorists is anybody who kills people you like, and the guys killing people we don't like, aren't, they're FREEDOM fighters!\n\nSo you answer your own question -  If somebody blows-up YOUR loved ones, are they terrorists or freedom fighters?\n\nYou see, there's no absolute truths in life! truth is a function of the circumstances!\n\nAlways has been, always will.\n\nSo don't let the demigods, otherwise known as politicians, mislead you.  Everybody has an agenda.  If you seek absolute truth, it's gonna be a long journey!\n\nIn the meantime, I'm supporting those who kill people who want to do harm to people I like, like my kids and grandkids!\n\nVaya con dios, amigo!

I know!\n\nWe could ask the terrorist to stop killing innocent school children and stop blowing up defenseless people in the streets.\n\nThen if they still wouldn`t stop we could carry signs like "no to Jihad" " stop beheading innocent people"\n\nAnd if that didn`t work we could just all become Muslim and have Sharia law govern us. Just as Bin Laden told us to do  to save our lives in his "1996 declaration of war on America".\nLittle girls would never see schools and they could be ignorant sex slaves to boys covered head to foot in a berka. Anyone we didn`t like and wasn`t a good Muslim could just be put in a mass grave and all would be Peace and love.

I assume this is directed towards Christians, which I am not, but I'd still like to put my 2 cents in. If Christians fly planes into buildings Because God told them to, or Christians strap bombs to themselves & murder civilians riding in busses or eating pizza. When Christians declare their intention to take over the world & force people to convert at gunpoint, THEN we can discuss this. Until then, your question is meaningless & therefore unanswerable.

Who ever they were, and whatever their religion, you can't bring it down to pointing your finger and saying " Why did they do what they did when they are supposed to be religious" Every war has the backing of the church, both sides get blessings to vanquish the enemy, I don't ever recall a war when the church ever said "don't do this it is against Gods will" The communists in Vietnam were supposed to be anti religion, but that is not why there was a war with them, they had their own beliefs.\nBut that is a very good question, which begs to know why did the religious leaders  in Germany England and America and the rest of the world never say " Don't do this it's wrong". Yes the answer is pretty obvious! Does the goverment and country over ride religion.

there is a passage in the bible of the ten commandments that says that you cannot kill anyone, but there is also something in christianity and other religions that are trying to classify this sorta thing as a "Just War", which means that it's acceptable based upon justifiable cause. it's like in Islam they have what is known as Jihad (which has a few different meanings) but is commonly known as a "holy war" and is allowed because it's a 'just war'. they feel that it is the right thing to do because of the severity.

Some religion causes some wars. \n\nThe Christian religion has also developed the "just war" doctrine to determine if a war is justified.\n\nThe “just war” doctrine requires rigorous consideration to determine if defense by military force is legitimate. Offensive war is never justified. All the following considerations must be true to justify war:\n1. The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;\n2. All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;\n3. There must be serious prospects of success;\n4. The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. \n\nReligion is also the hope for less war in the future.\n\nWith love in Christ.

all war is rooted in religious beliefs, masked by political agenda. people feel justified in killing because they believe that God is on their side, and not the other. this is an egoic belief. the truth is God is on all our sides and demonstrates this with free will. we are allowed to create whatever it is that we choose. even physical death. the purpose of this never ending game is evolution, to grow to re-member who we really are- individuations of Divinity. as we awaken our consciousness, more and more people will choose peace, and the suffering will cease. it starts with you. \nbe the change you want to see in the world. ~Ghandi

you are right there our Muslim enemies teach their children to hate and kill us and they have some reasons as we have destroyed their country and they lost their homes etc because we have unquestionable supported Israel, to do this to them, \non the other hand why should we give a dam what happens to them their religion is so filthy and evil and they are so damned fanatical about their religion and are hell bent on either killing every one or making them convert to their filthy religious ways,\neven tho I feel a deep sympathy for them, it is sort of like seeing a rattle snake killed by fire ants, you feel sympathy for the snake , but, you would also be afraid to help him as if you do he will surely bite you , same with the Muslims, many people felt sympathy for the Muslims and have spoke out for them, but at the same time scared to death of them , look at the B,S, they yell about and riot over etc, their damned clergy should be charged with murder every time they yell for death or worse to any one who offends Islam,if an \nAmerican orders some ones death they are arrested tried and imprisoned, why are we so lenient on these monsters,?\nNo, we will never win another war, as our great Generals MacArthur & Patton  said after ww2 ,Politicians who have never even fought or been in the Military can not run a war machine, and that is the way America wants to run them, have we won any thing since ww2?

war is never a good option to ending any dispute.  defense of those you love is done out of necessity but going out of your way to kill another human being because you disagree with their ideas or do not like the way they look...i don't know.  that just sounds...i don't know...evil.

If I can say this loosely, retaliation (or vengeance) when standardized justifies those who carry it out. They are not guilty in any way. So after this, anyone who retaliates is unlawful. Which legalizes their condemnation.\nThere must be some way for society to see the civilized end to a conflict. If not-there can be war. I know of no war that was not the result of someone not yielding to some standard of conflict resolution that would be fair to all.

Despite all the religions of the world and their constant advocating of peace and justice, things are pretty violent on the third planet. Religion itself must share some of the blame. All religions tend to cultivate a sense of absolutism: the idea that one is right, and others are wrong, and that's just how it is. This sort of thinking leads to the next step: if others are wrong and evil, why do the good people have to tolerate them? From that thought, the bullets begin to fly, and the mass graves are filled up quickly. A famous general once said that a criminal may kill one, ten, or even a hundred people, but only someone who absolutely believes that what they are doing is right, moral, and just will kill millions.
