I read pages, and pages, of he said she said BUT every little about issues. Why is this?? Are the issues not important or have we become puppets in this presidential election?? I would like to think that we, as adults, are mature enough to focus on this issues for a change. So, with that said, what is the biggest ISSUE that concerns you in this election??
Example of issues
economy
war
forecloses
immigration
of course there are more but this can get you started
Example of non-issue
who knows who
who wears what or may have been made fun of for doing so
what did their child do some warm April evening
of course there are more but these are examples
Please leave your comments about the candidates out of this thread and focus on THE ISSUES ONLY (see first list). There are 1000 thread focusing the other topics please address them there. Now lets have fun with who's plans for the issues are better and not who's lipstick is darker ;)

I am no Bible expert. What is written in the Bible about killing in self-defense?
We are not all Christians in this world. What do the Koran, Veda, Tao-te-Ching and the Talmud have to say about killing in self-defense?
How many of the wars we've fought have actually been fought in self-defense? How do you think God defines that?

I have often wondered about something.
I'm sick of hearing about lipstick, suits, friends, churches, etc.

Here is an article discussing the issue...

I don't have that information...but I would surmise that most religions recognize the right to defend yourself.
*** How many of the wars we've fought have actually been fought in self-defense?
All.
*** How do you think God defines that?
I think the Bible is more concerned with a war being "righteous" rather than strictly in "self-defense."
Here are a few articles concerning the Bible and war...

Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging

Wow! Thanks for the links. I learned stuff they never taught me in 12 years of Catholic school. Maybe I shouldn't call myself a Christian if I'm expected to believe the interpretation of the Bible presented in those links.
I should really call myself a Buddhist:
