Funny how our born-again Christian leadership once again conveniently overlooks its own scriptures:

Matthew 26:52: "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."

Tillman and other soldiers (of any country) get their predicted "reward" for taking a walk on the dark side. Violence is not a justification for more violence and directly contradicts the basic teachings of Jesus.

The proof is in the pudding.

Actually, violence is the only justification for a violent response.

And yes, this truism does in fact contradict what Jesus taught (but violently removing arbitrageurs from a temple because their presence there was perceived an insult to God is okay) which is just one of many, many reasons why I personally am an atheist rather than a Christian.
