I found this article this morning on Obama and McCain's discussion of evil with Pastor Rick Warren last August. The author takes the position that Jesus would not support our efforts to "defeat" evil by killing people. He quotes Jesus' words convincingly.
Personally, I've consistently believed that there are some people who are so unreasonable and so dangerous that killing them is the only option, other than allowing them to kill us. But maybe (just maybe) the pacifists have a point for those of us who claim to follow Christ.

I checked out Christianity Today's postings on the election and was surprised by the despair in some of the comments regarding the coming apocalypse. I would think they would instead say, maranatha! If we are in the end times, they should feel some expectation that judgment is coming (and if they're lucky, the pre-mils are correct and they'll soon be swept away to avoid the coming tribulation). Of course, if they want to be around to kill all the infidels when Jesus H. Christ makes his Second Coming, they can take to the fills and wait.
