What could possibly make a war holy? I am not a pacifist, but I think that war is a horrible, bloody, heartbreaking thing. I know that some Muslims believe that Allah told them to go on a jihad and kill people, but all the same, how is that holy? And if that is “holy”, how do they determine what wars are holy?  Is there some sort of criteria they have to meet? Something I would like to know would be whether or not there were other Muslims fighting in the war.  How did they decide that the war was holy? I think that if he was going to live in America, he should have been required to serve, just like every other American. That is the price of our freedom.

H7. Do you think the term "faith" properly applies to any religion other than Christianity?

  I think it takes more faith to believe that the earth came from a catastrophic explosion, which was caused by nothingness, and that everything evolved from primordial slime, than it does to believe in God. So I think that it needs to be considered: that atheists just might have more faith than we do.  They just choose to deny it.  I don’t know if I have enough faith to believe what they believe. Atheists may mock Christians for believing fairy tales, but I can’t think of anything more fairy tale like than nothing becoming something; it’s like the fairy tale of spinning straw into gold, except people really do believe this one.
