1. Why pay attention to what Christ said...
...when it's so much easier (both in life and electability) to just simply claim you're Christian?

4. And, according to some
All you need do to gain entry to heaven is "believe" and "accept Jesus in your heart". Following his teachings is not required. :eyes:

3. Golgotha isn't all that far from Baghdad

5. AFAIC, where "the rubber meets the road" in the Christian life...
...is in one's willingness to use military force, capital punishment, etc.

If you, by your choice, admit that you think Jesus's teachings to "love your enemy" and "turn the other cheek" are nice sentiments but unworkable in the "real world," how can your "Christianity" be anything other than lip service?

your post is just about as succinct a way to sum up the boundless hypocrisy of the fanatics who fancy themselves as somehow followers of religious principles as I've seen.
