    to bigguns

    Palin worships the god of the Old Testament. The god of the New Testament is explicitly anti-war and pro-peace. Maybe her church has done too many sermons based on Old Testament thinking. Here's an idea: how about preaching the Gospels every once in a while? After all, that's the part where Jesus actually explains his teachings. For example, "Love your enemies. Bless those who curse you."
