Ask the majority of "christians" if they support the current war...Bet they would...feel they have to support the Republicans no matter what because of abortion and gay rights issues...plus they hate muslims.

see the very first guy said christians hate muslims.
im christian, do i hate muslims?
and all christians dont support the republican party, ask the majority of blacks if theyre christian, then ask them what party theyre on, theyll say 2 things, Christian and Democrat.
and another common stereotype ive noticed is that they say all christians are white cowboys when wotld wide, majority of christians are hispanics that live in South America!
and the second largest group is blacks, which live predominantly in Africa.
and not many answer the quetsion: having an anti war christian foreign policy that rejects war isnt suicidal but it certainly isnt an a christian nations best interest when the enemy is fanatical muslims that want to chop off their heads.

in this day and age of nuclear technology, and with the terrorists being convinced that by killing others, especially americans who do not agree with them, they will go to heaven, suicide bombers, in other words, yes! it is absolutely suicidal for a christian nation to use those moral principles to avoid war! remember the separation oif church and state also! if this nation is threatened, then christian principles will have NO SAY! in how the military and government respond to a terrorisat attack! empire and colonialism have always been with us to a degree, and probably wiil continue to be! human nature being what it is! good question

The feeling of being threatened has to be legitimate, not fictionalized for financial gain. This is the lesson of the war in Iraq.
There's nothing unChristian about good defense. It's the offense that can get you into trouble. You better have a real reason.

If you are referring to the United States, then it is unconstitutional for it to have a foreign policy tied to any religious belief. As for general practice, any nation (or group) that bases war in the name of religion is diluted to the point of exhibiting schizoid tendencies.

Yes. A "Christian" foreign policy would seek to use it's strength to promote justice and security for not only itself but also for those under the cruel reign of terrorists and dictators. God still uses armies to bring about His will. Liberals have made God out to be a passive wimp who doesn't let people reap what they sow. Such a God would be insane and leads to total chaos.

If indeed there is a war against terrorism, I remind my colleagues that in war, the first shots are never the last - and the first strike is never the worst.

Well, I do know the Serbs are still not happy that Kosovo wants independence. They still feel it's part of their Orthodox Christian culture ,not Islam.
"The plan recommends a form of self-rule for Kosovo, strongly opposed by Serbs ."

Yes - either suicidal or it makes for a good paradox.
