hi papa, i just read six pro obama and six anti obama remarks /opinions. i chose to reply to you because you seem to KNOW for sure what it means to be a christian and you can identify one with so much assertiveness. allow me to ask a few questions. is president bush, who invaded iraq, started a war and killed many babies as commander and chief judged the same way as woman and their doctor who decide to end a pregnancy? what about the eradication of native american babies, slave babies, execution of pregnant "witches"? do you believe every word literally in the bible? what version? what books excluded in the king james version but included in the roman catholic version. there are over a hundred published bibles and most have countless varied opinions, which one is THE one? who gets into heaven? a murderer who finds Jesus, accepts Him as his Savior and dies the next day or a pygmy who was BORN with parents that do not KNOW Jesus, only the miracles of nature and pray only for food and safety for his children? the magnitude of what the smartest financial expertness of the free world have never and will never understand have ruined the life savings of millions almost overnight. do you believe in God the Avenger who will caste the non christians into the burning fires of hell? jews, muslims, hindus, buddhists and the many hundreds of non christian believers who have not accepted Jesus as their savior; will they all go to hell? a muslim child who dies in the third grade spending eternity with adolph hitler joseph stalin and other "lords of war"? is harry truman on the list? he killed/ bombed many japanese babies. Finally, where is it written that "turn the other cheek" has exception to the case? If Jesus is the Prince of Peace tell me a day, any day this world has had one day of peace?
