Not just Christians... All the Abrahamic faiths are excellent at killing civilians and other innocents.

atleast word this question decently how about
"If you had to intentionally kill one innocent person to save many lives, would you?"
I personally feel I am no man to judge that, however, do you believe the united states should have fought back in WWII? We indeed would have saved many lives by surrendering, though the jews would suffer greatly for this decision. What about the bombs dropped on heiroshima and nagasaki? were those right? They caused a tremendous amount of collateral damage. You're blind to the fact that history is violent, all you see is the little current event of the Iraq war and cry because you don't like president Bush. You're mind is to small to comprehend that bad things happen, and religon isn't always behind it.

It's impossible for a Christian Soldier to know if a civilian is "innocent". Or for an atheist Soldier, for that matter.

Nobody is an innocent bystander in a war zone.
Enemy, victim, comrade. The bombs and bullets do not care.
Would you prefer friendly fire or unfriendly fire.

It also doesn't say that thou shalt bypass justice via euphemism.

Its conflict. human beings die. it somewhat is the assumption. It happens on the two factors. in case you dont prefer to kill harmless human beings. Dont start up a conflict. maximum each physique is harmless of and dont should die.

Not only can they do it, they can do it with a clear conscience...I have never seen a group of people like Christians that can justify everything they do in the name of God..they constantly amaze me.

Bullets and bombs don't have names on them. War is hell, just ask all the Americans who died so you could voice your opinion.
