hey, there are still some real christians left (no, i'm NOT one of them!)

here are a few paragraphs from his blog/sermon/speech

When you start a war on false pretenses, and then act as if your deceptions are justified because you are doing God’s will, and that your critics are either unpatriotic or lacking in faith, there are some of us who have given our lives to teaching and preaching the faith who believes that this is not only not moral, but immoral.



When you live in a country that has established international rules for waging a just war, build the United Nations on your own soul to enforce them, and then arrogantly break the very rules you set down for the rest of the world, you are doing something immoral.



When you claim that Jesus is the Lord of your life, and yet fail to acknowledge that your policies ignore his essential teaching, or turn them on their head (you know, Sermon on the Mount stuff like that we must never return violence for violence and that those who live by the sword will die by the sword), you are doing something immoral.



When you act as if the lives of Iraqi civilians are not as important as the lives of American soldiers, and refuse to even count them,

you are doing something immoral
