That'd make me sick. I'm an agnostic atheist now, but it still makes me sick. How does it make you feel, as a Christian?

Religious??? No.....Spiritual, Yes. I do find the use of God, His Name, or anything relating to Him, to promote war, death, or destruction in any fashion, to be morally reprehensible. Then again, I dont equate militarism, with patriotism, or patriotism with religious zeal. God wont smite your enemies, but a nuke does a great job. My Point??? Who the fuck knows???
