In which case, the answer to the OP's question would be, no, regarding that specific issue.
I shimmer at the thought of one day watching pro-abortionists twitch and squirm before God as they try and defend their insatiable passion for infanticide.
No, not really, actually I like the thought of watching them twitch and squirm.

Oh, I know most Christians hypocritically live, saying "love your enemies", while inwardly hating them, just longing for the time they hope they will get to "ride with Jesus in a 'Holy' army, slaughtering millions with a 'shimmering' sword."
However, the point of my post was that I'm pretty sure you meant to say "shiver", but you typed "shimmer."

Thats a judgement call and you of all people should know better.I take offence to that comment.
Some day I will make a controversial thread to end all controversial threads. A thread so controversial it will put all others to shame. You will all be speechless in awe of its argumentative potential. It will run on for more pages than the Streams thread now has, as arguments flare and people yell at each other in text. Something like "what version of the Bible would a homosexual antichrist use while helping Santa Clause decide when the Tribulation will be?" But that is just a rough draft, the real thing will be much more controversial.
In the meantime this whole thread is meaningless. PoetMary got it in one. Conservative and liberal are labels that shouldn't be applied to people. Arguments over whether a christian is conservative or liberal are pointless because you can't say "this is what all conservatives believe and this is what all liberals believe."
Of course futility never stood in the way of a good argument... Go ahead, carry on with the putting down of each other.

Sorry to interrupt the already ongoing argument in progress, but I just wanted to say that I liked Willie's comment because I've known a lot of Christians in real life... who seem to be awfully happy that a lot of people are going to be eternally damned.
While I myself struggle with anger and sometimes hatred issues, I've just never understood how we can be at peace with the thought of looking forward to the destruction of others and call ourselves Christians.
Especially when God Himself says, "Surely I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?" Ezekiel 33:11. (Interestingly, God is talking to His OWN people-- which is US, in essence--in this verse.)
Of course we as believers can look forward to God's kingdom coming to pass, but if He doesn't look forward to seeing unbelievers struck down, why should we?
Thank you for reminding of this, Willie.
Sorry for the derail, but this really stood out to me.
