Love your rants. Please let me know when you find in the Bible that Jesus
carried a weapon to force his moral views on others.

Good point. He would not have supported military solutions. Thanks for pointing
that out.
So in addition to the sanctimonious hypocracy of self-proclaimed Christians in
their Lexi and Buicks who turn their noses up at the wretched poor, or preach a
"culture of life" while ignoring unwanted children and the elderly poor, you
can add to that those who justify dropping bombs on people while paying
lipservice to the words of a pacifist who preached love and compassion as
solutions, not napalm and tanks.
Or, those who condemn the use of government power to "force" a morality of
compassion on them, but demand it to be used to "force" a morality of their
choosing on others are also part of this sanctimonious hypocracy. Of course, a
sane person would see this hypocracy, and we are all sane here (said the
Cheshire Cat)... aren't we?
Kudos!
Arlo
