Unrepentant Evangelicals

A recent poll conducted by Christianity Today (apparently not online anymore) asked the question: “Do evangelicals need a time of repentance for the Iraq war?” I am sorry to have to report that 38 percent of respondents (a plurality) answered: “No. The war in Iraq was necessary and justified.”

If these Christian warmongers would just admit that they were deceived and that they have learned their lesson about trusting the government when it comes to war then perhaps we could forgive them for being stupid. But to continue to defend Bush and his war after all the lies, all the deception, all the folly, all the billions of dollars spent, and all the American soldiers killed is more than stupid—it is evil. Yes, warmongering evangelicals need to repent, and in sackcloth and ashes. How tragic it is that these Christians will be among the first to support the next war. Their God is not Christ the Lord–it is Mars the god of war
