An Evangelical Pastor had a column wrote about his opinion of the Iraq war in a local newspaper. The Pastor said he believed that it was all predicted in the Bible concerning end times; therefore, the war in Iraq was a necessary evil.

How can the bible predict end times when it can't even get the timing of the beginning times right?

use of force is appropriate to halt evil and prevent greater spread of violence.
otherwise divine love would be a doormat. is it appopriate for a mama bear to defend her cubs i think so.

From what I see, God loves war.

Remember what Sarah Palin and Bush said?

GODS PLAN! GOD TOLD ME TOO!

So I guess God loves war as long as you are killing Muslims.

Yeah,

2 Kings 2:24 (New International Version)
24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.
