Shouldn't the conservative Religious zealots be ashamed of themselves & just all sign up for the Iraqi front?

They should, but then who would be left her to tell all of us what terrible people we are and remind us how to be "good" Christians?  How ever would we get by in life?? They might actually get their hands dirty!  (gasp)

That's a good question. Even though there are STILL a lot of people who believe that Iraq and Al Qaeda were in cahoots, the fact of the matter is that Saddam Hussein's regime was SECULAR and that he was actually considered an infidel by the fundamentalists.

why? because its easier to hate them that way.\nits also a simpler argument, meaning its easier for one side to say they don't, then for people to counter it and explain how they do...it also seems to sound logical so people accept it quickly, so its sort of a "recruiting" tactic....\nand people want to believe stuff like this, it makes them feel better about the stance they are taking, feel more justified as if they are on the "right" side of the cause....

Frankly, I wish that they would. Those bible thumping manic retards make us all look like a bunch of ignorant megalomaniacs. I think of myself as a conservative, and I believe in God, but I honestly don't care if other people don't. \n\nIn fact, I just had to send a couple packing off my front porch last night. Nothing like a 78 lb Rotty throwing himself against the screen door to discourage visitors. Heh heh heh.\n\nAnyway, I'd be glad to see the back end of those morons as they break off to form their own cult, pardon me, party- because it sucks that everyone associates those attention seeking lowlifes to all Republicans.

These people who claim to be Christians and are using the funerals as a way to draw attention to their misguided cause,need to go home and read the right bible.No where does it say God punishes the warriors/defenders of the innocent in this way.\n As a nation ,we have the finest people in uniform.We need to all keep in mind they are people just like us...except they have the courage and gusts to go where they do.. to face the possibility of always being in harms way.\n They even have told me,they have decided to serve so this nation can be free to express their opinions,right or wrong.Amazing they are still able to hear nitwits like these cold hearted protesters,and still say "I do what I do so they can have that freedom">Not many would be willing to die for their "enemies".\n They used to call you a "Commie" or "Benedict Arnold" for speaking such trash & behaving in such a ludcrious way.\n Maybe these people should keep in mind,this is s jihad/holy war...and God never said a nation couldn't defend itself and honors a nation that stands for the weaker ones.It is NOT about oil...the musliums declared a "holy war" back in the late 70's.A bit of real history for those who flunked it in school.\nThanks to all our troops...you are all heros & many here are pulling for you.Come home safely & qucikly so we can show you how much REAL AMERICANS DO HONOR  YOU & are very grateful for what you give up!!!\n *** FREEDOM IS NOT FREE***... \n Any of you who would enjoy a letter or package can sign up for someone here to adopt you at <adoptaussoldier.org>.There are many here who would love to keep your spirits up...don't be shy..we've adopted 4 soldiers,and enjoy knowing we have a small part in making their day a bit brighter...for those who want to adopt a soldier,you can also go to this site...\nGod bless our noble troops,past & present !!!!

If I was a Shite in Iraq, I'd want to come to America.  No reason to stick around waiting for a so-called fellow Muslim to use me for a reason to start a civil war for a perverted fascist ideology.  But then again, maybe they want to defend their land against the real enemy.  Radical Muslims that pervert religion.\nOr maybe they like economic opportunity and religious freedom.

Because there is something seriously wrong with all people who consider themselves conservative christiians, and any other religion for that matter. No matter how high and mighty they think they are, everyone is flawed, and religion causes war.

Well, I guess the answer to this question is really in your "heart."  Are you outraged by attacks on civilians in the heart of your own country?  Are you deeply offended to know that civilians in Iraq (and other countries) are slaughtered so that "righteous" religious factions can make a (dubious) point?  Does it bother you at all that any low life dirt bag can claim "jihad" and attack anyone he or she wants without provocation?  if these, and any one of a thousand other wrongs, being called "right" by riffraff who only want to blame their bad actions on someone else, are offensive to you, then we are doing the right thing.

Oh sure! Invite the heretics, and exclude us apostates. Shameful, just shameful...

Sorry, but no not on your Conservative Christian side. This would be a Liberal platform that the Republicans would have no part of.

Good link. Christian conservatives are only willing to exend their own propaganda. They are against abortion and gays so they don't care about anything else. Children are dying of hunger around the world, environment is crappy, and disasters happening all around us. You think as good Christian, they would care but they don't. I'll never understand them.

longhornkjm,\n\nThose responses on Yahoo! Answers are people who would never have the courage to act like that to your face. I have witnessed door-to-door, and I have preached with a PA system in the street, and I have rarely run into the type of responses that you often see here. The anonymity produces courage on both sides. Many Christians don’t have the courage to openly express their faith publicly either.\n\nPlease forget the idea that this forum represents real people. Many of the very vocal people are cowards similar to the men who beat up women behind closed doors but are mousy in public. Ignore them, and ask your questions, and enjoy the Christian and open minded non-Christian answers from others that you seek.\n\nGod bless.

They were a part of a slave society, the NEO_CONSERVATIVES are alive and well right today. They believed they are the elite like Hitler and, Hitlers (SS). What I am saying is they believed that only a property owning individual should have any rights in America. That includes Voting and living. They hate anyone that apposes them, and anybody that they believe that is below should stay out of their way to their success. That's why we had a Civil War, they were just to much, and nobody could get along with their views. They are pro-war minded, yet anti-abortion, you see they didn't make any sense. They wanted you to believe they were the most human, but were all slave owners, and would sell your mother if they could. Bush says GOD wanted him to be President, yet he invoke a war in a Separate country, other than Afghanistan. Where is Bin Laden, since we all said "OK" go get BIN LADEN. Flip-Flop we are in IRAQ. We are invaders of IRAQ, there is no declaration of War to IRAQ. America voted to send troops to Afghanistan to find BIN LADEN, and this Republican Administration has yet to do that, 6 years later. They say they are Christians, but side up with Communist China who are Atheist's, over the American people, with American jobs, and by borrowing multi-trillions of dollars from Communist's, at America's expense. My point is Confederates don't think you should have any rights, only them. So don't even try to figure out why they are so cold-blooded minded, it's because you don't matter, only they do.

Iraqi's are like fleas.  Have you ever seen a flea circus?  Fleas in a closed jar will fly up as far as the jar lid and back down again.  They learn not to hit the jar lid through repetition.  If you take the lid off the jar, the fleas will do exactly the same thing.  They will fly up to where the lid was and back down again.  This explains why Iraqis are being attacked in their mosques. Because this is where the Shiites congregate in large numbers and at the same time of day, everyday.\nAs far as Islamics killing Islamics, think again.  Is it too hard to comprehend that the bombers are fanatical Baathist from Syria, or at least they are fanatics recruited by the Baathists to go to Iraq and blow themselves up along with as many Shiites as they can.  Why?\nShiites are pro Iran and Sunni's are pro Syria.  It is my guess that they are both wanting the spoils of war and don't want the other to have any of it.  As long As these clueless Iraqi's think they can have an Islamic government, this nonsense will continue.  They must get religion out of the equation, especially Islam.  This is the most divisive religion known to man and it will continue to exacerbate the problem.  \nThe US is trying not to side with either faction, yet most of these bombings are Sunni affiliated.  The Syrians seem to want a civil war in Iraq and they are determined to continue stirring the pot until it happens.

Yes they should, just like your fellow 'Christian' who is preaching hate against the Hindus because they're all 'liars'.

It takes courage to admit you've made a mistake and to change course. Bush is incapable of doing this. Do the followers lack courage? Not necessarily, but they've had fear instilled in them by their leaders and through their special right wing propaganda media. \n\nConservatives who react angrily are often those who've been informed by angry right wing talk radio and TV, and little else.

I agree with whoever wrote this article. For too long we as Christians have been contentedly complacent in our belief that since we have accepted God's Plan of Salvation that our work is done. That's not so. Time is so short,and we need to do whatever we can to broadcast the Plan to others,and not keep it to ourselves. I too have been guilty of sitting back and letting someone else do my work for me. As Christians,we each have a work to do,and in whatever way we can,we are to share our faith with others,wether they receive it or not. Fear of rejection or persecution should not be a factor in doing God's Will. I believe the same urgency I feel is felt by other Christians around the world. We see the signs of the times,and it is time to step up to the plate,so to speak,and witness to the world. It is also time to stand up for our rights as Christians and take back what organizations such as the ACLU has taken from us.We have the same rights as others,yet it is our religious rights that are being trampled at every turn. Now is not the time to fear what man can do to us. Now is the time to stand up for what is right and moral regardless of what the world thinks of us.Now is the time to put on the full Armor of God and be the people God has chosen us to be.
