She can make her point without talking about another posters children. Also, lets be real here, children are not soldiers and are not sitting Guantanamo Bay and as not the people that plan acts of war.

Grow up. Take responsibility and stop justifying disgusting posts, and also, let the poster I asked the question of answer for herself.

The Muslims who torture and kill American soldiers back their actions up with similar scripture! Small world, huh?

(Do you apply all of Deuteronomy to your way of living, or just the parts that you like?)

You should know I put as much weight in Deuteronomy as I do the little piece of paper inside my fortune cookie.

Thats what I find so weird about some Christians view that the bible is the indisputable word of God.

Yet when you bring up Deuteronomy and Leviticus, and some of the other books you get excuses like. "That was the old law" and "Jesus created a new covenant".

The way I see it is, if God is all powerful, and never wrong, why did Jesus have to correct him. So many inconsistencies in the Christian religion.

Three that WE know of. Do you honestly believe the CIA reports EVERYTHING?
BTW water-boarding is only one way to torture.

The real problem is WHERE will or does it stop & why would anyone who really believes in the teachings of Christ EVER think it is acceptable?

Oh man, that is so pathetic. How much of a rightwing nutjob do you have to be to believe something like that?

Only three have been waterboarded............Suuuuurrrrreeeee.......... and the world is a safer place since George W. Bush and Dick Cheney decided to spread "freedom" in the Middle East. And no detainees were waterboarded at GITMO other than these three.

Make mine grape or cherry, please.
