Would Jesus Bomb Nazis?
Advertisements [?]
Here's a head-scratcher for the Christian DUers: would Jesus have supported WWII?

I've heard alternately that Jesus would be against ANY war, and that he would be against UNJUST wars.

Clearly, a guy who spoke like Jesus would not support the current war on Iraq. But how, in your opinion, would he have felt about WWII?

I have no answer, because while I do know Jesus' purported teachings, I don't even believe in the guy, and I'm not entirely convinced he ever really existed. BUT! That has nothing to do with this thread, except to say I have zero stake in the question aside from the desire for discussion on the subject.

What do you think? Would Jesus have supported fighting in WWII? And for extra-credit, if not, how do you think he would have wanted people to have handled the Nazi threat?

I am all ears. There are really smart Christian DUers here, so let me know what you think!
