Talk is cheap, yes.  & apparently so is unaffiliated human life.  History is rapt with evidence.  The mighty-mite Christian warrior Joan of Arc was tied to a post over a slave-cut cord of seasoned hardwood and ritually slow roasted alive in the name of God, …& as a public event for Pete’s sake!  …Municipal executions are a trendy event all through history.  & I won’t trifle you with links to historically accurate allegations of concerned missionaries bearing gifts of knick-knacks, sundries & smallpox infested blankets all over the Americas.  & what of the goodly God fearing gentlemen who commissioned salty sea captains & their gnashing crews to sardine-can-pack hundreds of blameless African people into the hulls of clippers, allowing for a plus or minus give or take a few dozen hard-suffered fatalities upon arrival on the sunny shores of the new plantationer’s paradise?  & certainly we are all aware of the last several decades’ worth of collaterally slaughtered citizens of many creeds in the wakes of blanket bombings deemed necessary by God fearing gentlemen of wherewithal and means.  You kill a couple folks and you are a murderer, …you kill a baker's dozen & you are a serial killer and a monster, …you slaughter several thousand & you are a sophisticated leader of men with your stanch supporters and your radical detractors.  It just matters what side of the line you are most comfortable standing on in determining who the monster is.  Have you seen the footage of the Palestinian grandmother crying-out heartbroken prayers while watching her grandchildren being stacked onto a flatbed truck; is she an innocent, how about her grandchildren?  If it is being a good Christian to believe the firefighters on the fourth floor & heading valiantly up the World Trade Center stairwells to have been innocent victims, as well you should…as well do I, then you must see the Grandma and her progeny as innocents as well.  She was somebody’s hero.  No?

 

I believe you mean well, …but there appears to be a vain diffusion of wrath in your dogma; not that we don’t (most) all demonstrate moments of id level vitriol when provoked.
