    Here's a few hundred thousand innocent Japanese citizens killed by Chrisitans.

    Nice scene at the 8:07 mark in the Nagaski part of the Christian Cathedral that was destroyed and the Jesus statue.

    Is Jesus still true followers still behind all this killing of innocents? How about some massacre of Indians by U.S.Army Christian soilders?

    Step right up Christian soilders and earn you a medal of honor. Jesus don't care....they're just Injuns!

    That reminds me...... just where did the millions of native American Indians go?

    In the Wounded Knee Massacre, on December 29, 1890, 500 troops of the U.S. 7th Cavalry, supported by four Hotchkiss guns (a lightweight artillery piece designed for travel with cavalry and used as a replacement for the aging twelve-pound mountain howitzer), surrounded an encampment of Miniconjou Sioux (Lakota) and Hunkpapa Sioux (Lakota) near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota.[1] The Army had orders to escort the Sioux to the railroad for transport to Omaha, Nebraska. One day prior, the Sioux had given up their protracted flight from the troops and willingly agreed to turn themselves in at the Pine Ridge Agency in South Dakota. They were the very last of the Sioux to do so. They were met by the 7th Cavalary, who intended to use a display of force coupled with firm negotiations to gain compliance from them.

    The commander of the 7th had been ordered to disarm the Lakota before proceeding. During the process of disarmament, a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote could not hear the order to give up his rifle. [2] This set off a chain reaction of events that led to a scene of sheer chaos and mayhem with fighting between both sides in all directions.

    By the time it was over, about 300 men, women, and children of the Lakota Sioux had been killed. Twenty-five troopers also died during the massacre, some believed to have been the victims of friendly fire as the shooting took place at point blank range in chaotic conditions.[3] Around 150 Lakota are believed to have fled the chaos, with an unknown number later dying from hypothermia.

    The massacre is noteworthy as the engagement in which the most Medals of Honor have ever been awarded in the history of the US Army

    How about some Christians killing innocent Muslims action. The crosshairs on that F-16 bomb sight actually looks like a cross. Jesus would be so proud! That George Bush was such a wonder Chrisitian. Did they ever find those weapons of mass destruction? Disclaimer: I support the war on terror, however I think the American public was mislead about it. True Christian followers of Jesus Christ need to stay out of it.

    My ass just barely missed the tail end of this display of Christianity. Maybe if I would have been more of a Christian Jesus would have picked my number. I forgot.......did Jesus win this one?

    The My Lai massacre where the US army in Vietnam slaughtered 500 unarmed civilians, many women and children.

    Some victims were sexually abused, beaten, tortured, maimed and mutilated.

    Three U.S. servicemen who made an effort to halt the massacre and protect the wounded were sharply criticized by US Congressmen, received hate mail, death threats and mutilated animals on their doorsteps. Only 30 years after the event were their efforts honored.

    American media first claimed 100 had been killed in a fierce fire fight.

    Hello Think About It,

    What do you think we do on Sunday mornings? Bare knuckle fighting and dog baiting?!

    As much as we are to overcome evil with good Romans 12:21 there still exists the swordRomans 13:4 for megalomaniacs like Hitler and such.

    This sword is not always weilded but godly men either as your videos prove.

    Blessings,

    Stephen

    It put's those that want to please Jesus in a difficult situation. I just can't believe that Jesus would approve of Christians getting caught up in such things as the video clips show. I'm probably being way too passionate about this, because I'm not a follower of Jesus and very much for self-defense & military combat, but there is nothing in the Bible that can be used and twisted by wicked politicians to perpetuate this inhumane madness in the name of God.

    How about this beauty.....the American Civil War. Christian brother against Chrisitian brother. 650,000 killed over 1,000.000 wounded. Noble cause to free the black slaves, but I can't help but wonder......why did Jesus let this Christian nation enslave them in the first place?

    Preacher, how can we kill our Christian Baptist brothers? Well son, we are Northern Baptist and they are Southern Baptist! Good thing Jesus made the North have more industry than the South or things today would be different.

    What is your point, Think About It? That Christians fuck up? We all know that they do. It is one thing to profess, and another to actually live accordingly. That Christians can be hypocrites? We know this also. That Christians can be misled into supporting evil causes? This is also a given.

    None of this, however, addresses the central point, that sometimes war is necessary, after all other alternatives have been exhausted. You said you were pro military, so how can you possibly disagree?

    Do you know about the Trail of Tears perpetuated on the Cherokee Indians by US Christian military? This one is especially dear to me, since I have much Cherokee blood. Listen to the "Man in Black" Johnny Cash tell the sad truth. Johnny reads an actual letter from an eye-witness...."murder is murder" he exclaims! After that, if you think Jesus still supports this view.....you are just an inhumane Christian bastard!
