God is Pro War -- so all you pacifist weenies out there, Pfffft.
Though I am a Christian, I'm not a biblical scholar; so I have to ask: when Falwell says, "Many present-day pacifists hold Jesus as their example for unvarying peace. But they ignore the full revelation concerning Jesus pictured in the book of Revelation 19, where He is depicted bearing a "sharp sword" and smiting nations, ruling them with "a rod of iron," is he saying Bush is Jesus? Bush is the only leader I know currently leveling pre-emptive nation smiting.
And the other passages he uses, are they from the Old Testament? If he was looking to prove Jesus was a war-monger, shouldn't he use at least a quote from the Man Himself?
I love the evangelists. Let them sign up, ship out, and wear Kevlar, Falwell will buy.
