I'm a Christian, but I've never considered Jesus compatible with cluster bombs. How can these extremes be reconciled?

They're not genuine Christians. They're using Christianity to forward their greedy political objectives. They don't represent my Lord and Savior at all. They're willing to bend over backwards to Israel, even though those of the Jewish faith reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah. By definition in Christianity, those that reject Christ are unsaved.
Greg Boyd was right in the CNN special "God's Christian Warriors." He attended a service during the first Gulf War that included a fighter jet flyover. He asked how could the Cross of Jesus Christ be fused with killing machines?
He was also right on the issue of abortion. There's a direct correlation between poverty and abortion. If more people are lifted out of poverty, there are fewer abortions.
On the flipside, the Republican party wants to do the opposite--leave people in poverty and rule out abortion, so that the poor kids that are born have no choice but to enter the military, and serve the right wing's military goals of securing more oil in the Middle East.

True Christians do not love bombs. However, there is a time to every purpose under heaven and should the time arise that our country and our Christian rights are violated, one solution may be to fight back. As for gays, it is clearly stated in the Bible many times over that a man should not lay down with another man. I would assume that goes for lesbians as well.
I hope that you have found this information to be...enlightening.

You need to break your questions down to individual ones, and then each can be addressed accordingly. You might as well ask why do many love gays and hate Jesus, but also love to get bombed?

To be anti-war is not to be anti-US. Quite the contrary, to be the military super-power bully always willing to unleash its fury while ignoring the international conventions to which it is party to is being anti-US. Just who are the millions of aggrieved Middle Eastern and Muslim people going to hate because of this regime's sickness?
I do not believe that the United States will in my lifetime regain the respect that it has lost. I do not believe that it will ever again be seen nor respected as the fair arbiter of disputes between nations. I do not believe that it will be seen as the world's protector of human rights. It is a sad time for this country and the world. Yet, the sickness of the George W. Bush regime is our sickness, a sickness of its people as well.

Truth can always be corrupted and twisted. So the teachings of Jesus can be twisted to defend lots of non-Christian ideas.
Simple as that.

I love Jesus....Jesus said to turn the other cheek...in your personal life yes, you should turn the other cheek ....but, I have a hard time believing that Jesus would say to allow those who are hell bent on killing you, your family, and your country to have free will to do so!!!...that to me is a type of suicide. that's just common sense...as far as hating gays...I know of NO Christian who hates gays...they are sinners just like the Christian is....we ALL fall short....I do hate sin of ALL types...even the sin that I struggle with, but I make no excuse for it..just like gays should make no excuse for their sin, and gay sex is adultery just like any sex outside marriage....

God never said to hate anyone but to love thine enemy. God also made Adam and eve. However I have no problem with them unless the kiss in front of me what they do behind close doors is up to them. God gave free will, it would be wrong to deny what they want to do with it. Hate crimes is not what God teaches, he teaches love but in a stern way.
God also has told people not to keep anything from the enemy at one time, and told his people to nurn everthing and keep nothing not 1 material possion and kill everything man, women, and child. in 1 bible story.

It is the same principle that allows Liberals to want to save Whales and criminals but dismember little babies in the womb.
I don't think Jesus and abortion are compatible

Didn't Jesus say "I come not to send Peace, but a Sword"
I bet he would have sent cluster bombs, if they were availiable in his time, instead of a sword
