This one goes out to the right siders who say they love Jesus but also feel a need to defend America with marines in Iraq.

Since Jesus communicates with Bush on a regular basis according to him, I guess so. The use of the holy hand grenade with which to blow your enemy away is evidently scripture found in Bush 33:101

This one is an easy one -- definite YES! I refer you to his own words on the subject:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." -- Matthew 10:34 I am sorry to be the one to break the news, but religion has more often been about controlling the poor and ignorant than it has been about anything else. And we're not talking about stopping with today's wimpy version of military force, either:
Moses told his soldiers: "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." -- Numbers 31:17-18. You see, all the answers are right there in the Bible. A solution to our recruiting problem right there in the Good Book itself.
Can't you see the ads, "Sign up today and keep up to eight Iraqi virgins for each tour you serve. Start a stable in Nevada and Retire Early." Probably wouldn't look good on the six o'clock news though, so we'd need to go back to 'embedded' journalists to keep control of the story.
"And he (David) brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln." -- 2 Samuel 12:31. Nope, this is definately Standard Operating Procedure we're talking about here. Seems like I've heard about this 'pass them through the brick kiln' thing before, too. Is 'Bush' a German name or a Jewish name?

Jesus is with both of the forces. For he loves us all, red,yellow, black , white and brown, He doesn;t care what the color of your skin, or what a person believes in, as long as that person believes in him. So you see, it has nothing to do with war. War is a no win situation, and there were wars in Jesus's time also. He took a side. The side of his father. No I do not believe in war. I do not think American troops belong in Iraq. The are not there because they want to be. They are there because a nut is in the white house and doesn't care how many of our troops are killed. how many widow's or widower's, nor how many kids he leaves without a mom or dad or both. God will deal with him when he see's him. For he is the only one that has a right to judge.

Sorry, Democrat.
Yes. Saddam publicly offered and paid suicide bombers to attack Israel.
Jesus' followers carried swords. He was no pacifist. The phrase "turn the other cheek" is older than Jesus and does not mean what most Christians think it means.
He's have fought.

I think it is entertaining when those who don't know the Bible pull bits and pieces out of it like they are an authority.
Before you good folks pass judgment on what the Bible says or what Jesus would do...read the Bible, the whole thing.
The answer, Jesus (God) would do what He did in the OT.
War is legitimized in the Bible...check it out!

If everybody in America was like Jesus, we wouldnt be here today. Im a strong Catholic and everything, but those Muslims over there are the opposite of Jesus' views. Youve got to fight fire w/ fire or we'd all be dead by now.

I don't know where people get the idea that God doesn't approve of the occassional smiting of one's enemies that need a good smiting. There's lots of smiting in the Old Testament.
Is it because you're trying to be like Samson and defeat us with the jawbone of an a$$?

It's always fun to watch an atheist acting like he knows the mind of God.

You mean the one in the book that says "Thy shall not kill' and "Love your neighbor as yourself", and the old "turn the other cheek"
The only Jesus that would support a war, is an illegal from Mexico
"Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword" (Matthew 26:51-52).

he claimed to prefer the sword, but he did not have marines at his disposal at the time.
