Lucid-good point.
Oplist-you judge me yet you don't know me.
I didn't say wether I was pro or against any of these things.

By being a hypocrite.
It is quite easily really.

I guess if that is your personal view on those issues it it possible. I don't think Christians are supposed to have that point of view.
Extremes in both parties:
Republicans: Pro-Life (so they can get votes): some of them Pro-War but for the most part not pro-war. Pro-Capital punishment, pollution pollution pollution.
Democrats: Pro-Whatever is popular to get them swing votes, at times anti-American, anti-troops, and will create more pollution than anyone to go to conferences about pollution.
Those are obviously the extremes. Both of these extremes however, control the t.v., the newspaper, the radio, and are our only source for news and events. Everyone in the middle is just sitting back watching all of them thinking, what in the hell is wrong with these people.

Being pro-life just takes a rational human being who knows it's wrong to murder out of convinience.
Nobody is pro-war. Although some believe there can be cause for a just-war
Capital punishment and pro-life are inconsistant, although there are some very few cases in which the death penalty could be permisable. If it is deemed that the person cannot be rehabilitated, and is a threat to the lives of the people around them (like innmates who are guilty of murder and then kill prison guards when they're in prison).

Pro-life, to me, means I'm against the taking of *innocent* life. Capital punishment was commanded in the Bible (Genesis 9:6, Romans 13). It's because human life is valuable that a murderer should pay with his own life.
I'm not against a *just* war, like if we're invaded. I am against the Iraq war and the "war on terror" because they're unjust and unconstitutional as well as counterproductive.

I think the term pro-war is mis-used. War is sometimes an unfortunate and inevitable option but it doesn't mean people are pro it. I personally don't favour capital punishment although I can see why people feel it is necessary.

I don't know. I'm pro-life and opposed to both war and capital punishment. Euthanasia, too.

its interesting that you think yourself exempt and above it all.
how is it possible to be okay with euthanizing sick people or aborting unborn babies just because they are a personal inconvenience ...
and who buys games where "you" kill "the enemy", probably cant wait to watch movies and tv shows where "the good guy group" engages in battle against "the bad guy group"...
yet think oneself morally superior and being against the government - who are not doing it because of religious reasons... when it comes to putting criminals to death who've gone on killing sprees.
and, you're also against war -
if the Americans had not severed from Britain by war... then maybe you wouldnt be able to sit where you are.. perhaps this entire continent still monetarily subject to that nation. but it looks like the democrats are willing to be subject to Europe. so loss of liberty - working to supply for Europe and all of the EU nations could be in Americas future anyway.
if America and the other countries had not fought in war against Hitler... then maybe you wouldnt be able to sit where you are, speaking english, surrounded by all of your technological conveniences... but living in an army barracks a member of the SS, being in subjection to communism.
in the recent war arena, not for religious reasons, the Americans and other coalition nations ... which the democrats in recent majority political power, have not called a stop to...
but are on the side of the middle east terrorist groups.. who consider themselves justified to engage in jihad to kill anyone who does not accept their religion.

Religion is one never ending parade of contradictions. So many in fact it makes it appear consistent.
A fascinating illusion if you ask me.
Like I keep saying the religious in America are what I refer to as A'la Carte Christians.

It's not. You'd be anti-choice, and pro-war or pro-capital punishment, not pro-life.
