- Air Force’s “Jesus Loves Nukes” training no more? – I don’t have a problem with discussion / training about ethics related to war. Indeed, I’d feel better knowing that these questions had been raised. “Jesus loves nukes” sounds silly, but if you’re going to have an armed forces, would you rather they were just shrugging and “obeying orders” without consideration of the ethics of what they’re doing? My main objection to the USAF’s training was that it seemed founded solely in Christian teaching, which is inappropriate.

16. I’m so glad that Santorum and his ilk don’t “want to force their worldview on us.”

Of course they don’t! They simply want to compel you to accept the Lord’s worldview! They are just merely the messengers!
