  • @RPenta So there's a bag somewhere, and I may or may not be in said bag. Do I want to know what the bag is? It sounds like it may be dirty, I'm sorry, but I just don't think of you that way. Will your shit make sense some day? And last time I checked, Turek the Evangelical Christian war monger is still afoot. He was the only Christian mentioned though, who is the other one, the voice in your head?

  • @whybag Please read my other comments and then open your bag.

  • @RPenta "I was talking about Hitchens"

    No shit. Turek the war monger is fine to you, just Hitchens that got your goat?

  • @whybag Apparently Turek had nothing to fear, unlike those who supported Obama as the candidate of "change" and "hope".

  • @whybag Maybe you were in the bag but I was talking about Hitchens, not Turek.

    Apparently we still have yet another Evangelical Christian war monger afoot.

  • @RPenta "In light of what Jesus said about loving our enemies, should Christians be pacifists?

    I don’t think so. In fact, sometimes the use of force is not only justified, it can be a dereliction of duty not to use force." - Frank Turek

    The same Frank Turek that said Obama wasn't fit for presidency because he wanted to withdraw troops from Iraq in 2008?

  • @whybag What do you call a dead Chris Hitchens? One less war monger.

  • Turek keeps coming back to "God's" morals that Hitchens uses to view the world, and I wanted Hitchens to smash him in the face with it. There is NO objective morality. If God TELLS YOU to kill a man for picking up sticks, or TELLS YOU to slaughter a town except for the virgins, and we as a society now consider these to be evil, God didn't give us those morals.

  • Petty Office Monsoor's sacrifice truly selfless and should be remembered honorably. But I ask, would his sacrifice be greater if he was a believer or if he was a non-believer?

    As a believer, he would expect to literally meet his maker and, hopefully, move onto eternal reward. As a non-believer, he would expect nothing more than oblivion. Which is the greater sacrifice?

    I also ask, do you think either of these things went through his head?

  • Frank Turek, you sir, are ignorant.
