I seem to remember one self-described Evangelical Special Forces General saying that the conflict between Christianity and Mohammedanism boils down to (I paraphrase) "My God is bigger than his."<BR/><BR/>The real tragedy of war-centered pop Christianity today is that it focuses on destroying the identified enemy by killing as many of them as possible, rather than seeking God's grace to eliminate the enemy through genuine conversion. Remember Ann Coulter's infamous gibe about "invad[ing] their countries, kill[ing] their leaders, and convert[ing] them to Christianity" -- a splenetic outburst that demonstrates to me that Miss Coulter is a dubious person, at best, to lecture other people about being "Godless."<BR/><BR/>Christians are permitted -- required, in the case of heads of households -- to practice self-defense. But I can't imagine that anyone whose soul has actually been touched by Jesus would be eager to kill anyone, particularly those in thrall to a soul-killing religion.William N.
