Let me see if I get this right. You say to “love it or leave it” if anyone opposes pacificism. You call anyone who does not believe that Christianity requires absolute pacificism is a “bitot” and a “terrorist.” Funny, I do not recall slitting anyone’s throat today. I wonder if you are REALLY a Christian. You obviously know little of history, and the “just war” doctrine seems a mystery to you. Are you a Muslim provocateur? Do you realize that John Derbyshire is a self-admitted pagan who believes that we should follow the “more rubble/less trouble” rule in dealing with Muslims? I agree that Christianity requres us to be “harmless as doves,” but Jesus said for us to be as “wise as serpents” too. Christianity forbids suicide. You must resist, if only to help others. If I were you, I would hesitate to adopt a posture of moral superiority when it is likely to lead only to death. As hard as it may be for you to admit it, even the Japanese have admitted — the defense minister only last month — that the atomic bombs probably saved lives, including Japanese ones. You have not contradicted one thing that I have said about Islam — so much for “bigotry,” unless it is “bigotry” to speak umcomfortable truths.
