One thing that really bothers me is when people are inconsistent in their positions on issues.
Example: Being anti-abortion and being pro-war. Life is life.
A new one that is gaining popularity:
Being anti-stem cell research and being pro-questionable interrogation techniques.
If you are against harming a human life to help advance scientific research and possibly save lives, then you have to be against harming a human life to help advance defense intelligence and possibly save lives.
Simple. Consistent.

Brad-
I think that stem cell research and interrogation are completely different issues. You don't kill someone when you interrogate them, but you DO kill them when you use the embryo for research.
I think that as people, we tend to rank murder above other sins, but through God's eyes, they are the same, they are sin.
Yes, sin is sin in God's eyes. But you cannot equate murder of a baby with death in war. It's not apples to apples. We should never be pro-war, but I do believe there is such a thing as a "just war" and that is not murder. Just look at the book of Joshua.
I totally agree. There is "just" war. And maybe that sentence was a little too general. I meant to refer to "unjust" war or even civilian casualties in a "just" war. I wasn't clear in the original post.
