Are you a pacifist? Also, I agree war is not good. But It is needed to maintain freedom, but it can be abused. Example WW2 was NEEDED. Lest Hitler (there he is again) be allowed to rule the WORLD!!! As far as it coming from God? I personally believe God gives man a level of free will and choice to do what he pleases. That is why there is evil in the world. The evil comes from man not God, so anything evil is not FROM God but allowed by God. War is neccessary in some cases to combat the evil that men create so God allows it to happen. In old testaments there were cases where God used war to punish Israel and other nations. So I think in cases God will use far to punish evil. I believe this is where Sarah Palin is coming from. She believes God is using America to punish, Sadam Hussien esque tyrants and terrorist. An extreme view (I do not agree with) That the middle east is being punished for their stand against Israel. Seeing that Israel was Gods chosen people. |

Separation of Church and State is a large part of the prosperiety of the west for the past several hundred years.
Normative Jurisprudence, Separation of Church and State, Division in government, and a definition of the governments role to defend the "Life, Liberty, and Property" of it's citizens are the most important principles that voters have to defend, in order to defend the democratic republics.
If she really believes this, it is fine to believe anything you want. But that doesn't mean we should elect somebody who honestly believes they are sending off people to die or kill as an order from God.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
