bitonti Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 not all of his comments (9-11 truther) make sense but his questioning the joy in death is a legitimate and ongoing dispute among Theologians. The old testament says "an eye for eye" but it also says "Thou Shall Not Kill" the new testament says "Turn the other cheek" and also "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" Romans 12:19 in other words WWJD? Would Jesus order a strike team to osama's backyard? I'm not going to say one way or another and I dont want to make this into a political/religious debate but the guy asks a legitimate moral question... one that has been asked for centuries. He's not a dummy for asking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Would Jesus order a strike team to osama's backyard? He doesn't return my calls, but prefers to work through other mediums. However, having some feel for His likes and dislikes, I'm pretty certain He would support taking out any 1 person by any means that has already orchestrated the killing of tens of thousands of his people and left to do some additional killing, would. Pretty damn certain of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would have bemoaned the death of a person and let it go at that, then you are correct to bring the theological discussion into this. But his comments in total - "we have only heard one side, etc." can only lead one to believe that Mendenhall is either A. A Muslim extremist sympathizer; B. An extremely gullible and ignorant conspiracy theorist; or C. Too stupid to put his pants on with the zipper in the front. I'm going with C!!!

FloridaJetsFan Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Who's worse, the Obama birthers or the 9/11 truthers? The truthers by far! To believe in a conspiracy of that magnitude versus one guy refusing to go through the a$$ pain of recovering his origina long form birth certificate is a huge leap of crazy. Don't get me wrong, the birthers are nuts too, but I think they're more racist than anything - I'm sorry if I'm just gullible enough to believe the Honolulu Advertiser announcement of Barrack Obama's birth in Hawaii published on Aug. 13th, 1961, announcing his birth there on Aug. 4th seems pretty compelling. I'd love to be part of a 47 year old concpiracy that results in a man being elected President of the United States. But wait, this isn't the right forum for this discussion.

Gastineau Lives Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I assume he meant "what kind of person celebrates the death of another human being"? When you murder 3,000 other human beings you cease being one. You are now an organism much like malaria or the HIV virus, except with a homosapien brain and the intent to kill actual human beings. By the way, if Christians in this country followed Jesus' ol' "turn the other cheek" advice, they would have opened the borders, totally eliminated all security measures in place to prevent another attack and some of them would have even flown themselves to any terrorist hotbed of their choice and willingly sacrificed themselves. Because turn the other cheek means "hit me again, and just a little harder if that's what you want" Any Christian that invokes the "turn the other cheek" rule in the Jesus handbook yet endorses national security is a hypocrite.

Some 30% of people are skeptical of the 9/11 official story, so why is it such a big surprise when he plays football too? I swear people get so emotional over what one person believes. Let it be.

He's not a dummy for asking it. Sure, but he's not citing Matthew 7 as a call for forgiveness and harmony; he's mistaking it as a totalizing abrogation of human normative ethics--not to mention that one loses the moral and rhetorical high ground when employing it in direct service of judging people. The flag-waving frat boys and USA chants are weird and morbid and disturbing, but there's something deliciously ironic about a guy suddenly taking to Twitter to philosophize and defend himself from accusations of ignorance when his timeline is chockablock with such gems as "Going down on your man IS optional.

CoachTsurfing Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 this is an age old debate concerning if you take a life do you deserve to be put to death. that just depends on your upbringing. should we celebrate that someone has died??? I wish we didn't feel the need to hold a celebration in the street like they did when the towers went down. as americans i feel we are better then they are. personally speaking i do believe in the death penalty. so while i don't feel the need to celebrate in the streets giving high 5's. I'm glad they caught him and i'm glad he's dead. I am sorry it had to come to this. i dont' know why people can't just not worry what other people are doing. if it's not hurting you. ie... choosing to worship in whatever way you want. religion is 99% of the worlds problems. always has always will.

Well said, I'm wondering if he'd make any judgments on a man who raped a female in his family...or I guess he'd be totally fine with handing his child over to a well known molester to babysit for the night because hey, who is he to judge.
