"G.W. Bush's unconstitutional, unprovoked, preemptive wars of aggression, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents"
This many innocent deaths, really?
"Well, if you believe that Presidents are above the moral law of God regarding shedding innocent blood, why should they be held to any other moral law of God? And if Presidents are exempt, what about governors, mayors, sheriffs, etc.? I truly wonder how many evangelical Christians deep in their heart share the opinion of the above-mentioned pastor. Scary thought, isn't it?"
That is a very good question. One response would be to say that governors, mayors, sheriffs etc. do not exercise their duties in theaters of war. This should be obvious. Also, the idea of collateral damage weighs into this, as in, it wasn't intended. I think this parallel drawn here fails too quickly and too many ways to be persuasive to the 'warmongering' evangelicals.
