Is President Obama secretly an atheist, who fakes being a Christian for political reasons?

43. "Instead of interpreting..."

That's precisely the problem. You can't put interpretation aside - it all hinges on it! (And the added wrinkle with a revealed religion like Christianity which must allow for the possibility of new interpretations, new messages, new edicts being delivered to humans through a new prophet.)

As far as sending out the drones - would you say that a true Christian can NEVER kill, even in self-defense or times of legitimate war?

I notice you skipped over my question about anti-choicers, too. I would appreciate if you could address that subject.

I still think you are trying to fit an enormously complex issue into a tiny simplistic box. What are Christian principles? I don't think you could find two Christians who would completely agree. But if you want to declare that it's YOUR interpretation of what those principles are, that YOU are the sole judge on who is correctly following them, go right ahead. About a billion or so Christians are going to disagree with you, though.

Let me also add that principles such as pacifism, compassion, etc. are found in human beings regardless of their religion. They aren't "Christian" principles (as you are identifying them) any more than they are Jewish principles, Hindu principles, or even atheist principles.
