From "Conservapedia"'s great debates: a defense of the Crusades
Edited on Fri Feb-23-07 10:04 PM by Bucky
I believe that the first two crusades were in defense and justified and the second two were wrong. If you believe that all wars are sinful.1 Then a country cannot have a defense system or military at all. If someone were to try to kill and steal from your own family you would stop them by force or would you watch them get killed.2 This is the same thing with a war on a national level. Ultimatlely if you do not believe in war we would not have a nation. The United States had to have its own war for independence the Revolutionary war in which, many men died.3 The Ten Comandments4 says "Thy Shalt Not Kill",5 but are you not killing when you refuse to defend the defenseless? For example in War World II,6 if it were not for the Alled forces and the United States the entire Jewish people could have been destroyed. I guess when Hitler was taking over Europe you would sat back and watched because you are a pacifist.7
--Deborah G.


1 - Sentence fragment
2 - Is that a question or that is a statement ?
3 - No less than three, count 'em, three comma errors. (no comma behind 'which.' Separate 'the Revolution war' by commas (and capitalize 'War.'
4 - Dude a Christian fundy really ought to be able to spell "commandments"
5 - THY?
6 - War World II?
7 - "...you would sat back and watched..." Argh! If I was around when Hitler was conquering Europe, I'd ignore the rise of fascism because I'd be too busy hunting down Deborah G's ancestors.

1. "Alled forces?"
"I guess when Hitler was taking over Europe you would sat back and watched because you are a pacifist."

Or if you were Prescott Bush, you'd just sell the Nazis supplies.

Didn't we wait until Germany declared war on us?


My brain hurts.
