Many people believe this happened as a matter of historical fact. No one knows. If God instructed his people to do this how is that any different than what Terry Jones is doing? No difference at all.
See, it's all a matter of perception. With our laws, yes, I think Terry and his church would be wrong to do this and violate the law. but he might really be right that this is the right thing to do in the eyes of God.
Which is precisely why RELIGION is to blame for almost all atrocities. I have no doubt that he DOES believe that, and what does that say to you?

It's NOT an atrocity if its a mandate by God..

So that I'm clear on how I view you, I want to ask again....you think murdering here on Earth is not atrocious whatsoever, so long as God told you to do so?

I saw your edit....in fact I assumed that edit would come.
Either way, I'm two things today.
1) Ashamed to be an American
2) Happily an Atheist and have no need of caring about what GOD mandates nor will I ever care.

From the definition "To authorize trial by military commission for violations of the law of war, and for other purposes."
Where is that relative to linking the municipal police with the military?

Do you know I legally own 2 guns that the FBI has no idea I own? They were given to me from someone who died. One is a 22 rifle and the other is my awesome Sport King 22 long pistol with 12 shots in it's semi automatic magazine. It has a very long refiled barrel and shoots almost as far as the 22 rifle. fires as fast as I can pull the trigger.. almost like having a semi automatic rifle. I can pop 6 22 long bullets into a body in the space of 6 seconds. With the extra powder the 22 long bullet has and the refiled barrel, these things do serious damage even though it's a small caliber.
In my state, anything over a 22 has to be registered. I don't have to register these guns at all. No one has to know that I have them and tha'ts 100 % legal.

I say it's time to get the conflict going, Christianity verses Islam, and take no prisoners, man woman or child or livestock either, complete anialation, once and for all, bomb those barbarians back into oblivion. Let no one escape and have no mercy. But of course our emasculated pussy military and their sensitivity training might get in the way, and might offend libs and treehuggers. I know what I have to do, and my neighbors as well, fortunatly alot of them are law enforcement and see it along simmilar lines, sorta Arizona ..ish.

Surely you need to assess the context of this- it would be on the basis that God is real, therefore if he is real then terms like and ordered these things, it would not be an atrocity- all this is on the basis that God is real and has ordered, if neither of those are applicable then it is an atrocity (not saying this is my viewpoint, just pointing out the context)
