Osama bin Laden dead (Official)

[Insula Dei]

Yay, Bin Laden is dead, good news and all that.

But to whoever said they also would celebrate if someone who killed 3000 non-Americans would die, good luck with posting your celebration here the day W kicks the bucket. Just sayin'

Hacks for what? They merely have a different opinion than you.

saying we have lost because we celebrate the death of and victory over enemies of freedom is a completely backward idea that belittles the harm done by these tyrants.

Jmcfst, please stop referring to Osama as a 'dictator'. The guy was a terrorist, that's something different. Some cynical part of me is thinking you're conciously calling him a dictator to imply that he was in any way a leading figure in the Muslim community. We both know intellectual dishonesty is far from being a no-go for you.

Rom 12:17 - 12:21

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

so, you're using a bible passage to condemn self defense?  something tells me you're going to have a hard time making that interpretation mesh with either the OT or the NT

But Jmcfst, maybe God sent Osama as a scourge to punish the gay-loving United States. How can you know he didn't? Remember that many of the prophets weren't exactly popular with the sinners they had come to rescue.
