"The Bible says that evil cannot be negotiated with. It has to just be stopped. … In fact, that is the legitimate role of government. The Bible says that God puts government on earth to punish evildoers. Not good-doers. Evildoers."—"Purpose-Driven" Pastor Rick Warren, hanging out with his BFF Sean Hannity, whose purpose is to drive me batshit fuckin' nutz. Warren was responding to Hannity's assertion that we need to "take out" Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Even if the Bible does justify such a thing, which is dubious (see further discussion at the link), the Bible is not the handbook of the Department of Defense—a sentence I can't believe I even have to write, but there you go.
