War != "Christian Right" (Score:2)

by Purdy (2383) <jasonNO@SPAMpurdy.info> on 2003.03.24 8:15 (#18242) Homepage Journal

Please don't confuse Bush's actions for Christian ones. He is making decisions based on the oath he took for office, though he often infuses the Bible and God into his rhetoric.

JFK (a Catholic) said during his campaign that he would not base his decisions on any decrees from the Pope, putting the interests of his country first.

IMO, the only Christian response is peace (the whole "just war" doctrine is a cop-out {again, IMO}, but that's a whole other discussion) - but if the U.S. were a Christian country, we probably wouldn't survive very long among the rest of the world.

Peace,

Jason

  How does one tell how Christian an action is?

    Mostly by relying on the Word of God, through Scripture (the Bible), but also through prayer.
