Sunday Question: Why are Evangelicals OK with Bush's consistent and repeated breaking of the 6th Commandment?

Question

But, dear Lonergan, that was the old testament. Jesus came to wipe that away. He repeated "thou shalt not kill, and added "love thy neighbor as thyself", wiping away "eye for an eye".

Answer 1

Well, who has bush personally killed first of all?

If you suggest that FDR was a murderer because he sent troops to Normandy to kill Germans or Harry Truman killed Japanese by ordering the Atomic Bomb to be dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, I guess Democrats and Republicans are equal opportunity killers.

Answer 2

Which one is that? Thou shall not lie? Or is it related to the thousands of American troops he's had killed?

Answer 3

Evangelicals are not really different from the rest of us, in that they pick and choose the elements of their belief system that work for them, and find ways to justify the exceptions.  Liberals do it too.  We are just as opposed to murder as evangelicals--possibly more so--but we find various justifications to off human fetuses.

Answer 4

Faith Base money.

Answer 5

Non starter of a question.  

God himself sent the Isrealites out to wipe out nations.  

You need to actually study the Bible to get technical and ask red herring questions.

Answer 6

Thou shalt not murder.

Because it is ok to murder those who are not Christian?

Or

God has chosen America to be the leader of everyone, and blessed us with talent to know when it is the right course of action.

Or

Some other such BS

Murder is murder, now matter how its done, it is still murder.

Answer 7

FDR has nothing to do with this question we were attacked we went to war to defend ourselves.....

That being said Bush set all of this c**p in motion. Iraq did not attack us he calls it "war on terror" then why not go after terrorist countries that we know have womd??

while he may not have killed anyone with his own hands he is just as guilty.....i don't remember Manson killing anyone but where is he??

They are okay with it because they did not reach the new testament yet.
