First of all it's basis. The basis of the Christian religion. You can spell check your posts, I know you can. I'm not even a Christian and I feel obligated to respond to this post. The core beliefs of Christianity are based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ, who was a staunch pacifist. So no, going to war and "wiping out evil" is not the basis of Christianity. |

Staunch pacifist is debatable.
What? Do you think Jesus went around beating people up? Didn't he just let himself be killed? |

But he never condemned soldiers. Sure he himself was peaceful, but I hardly believe him to be a peacenik.
So that "turn the other cheek" business was...a joke? |
