The USian God war continues:
The born Catholic Sean Hannity weighs in:
Sean Hannity questions the Pope’s knowledge of the Bible
LYNDA MCLAUGHLIN (PRODUCER): I see everything he says. I hate-watch him. It's terrible.
HANNITY: You hate watching him. I hate the Pope.
MCLAUGHLIN: No. I hate-watch him. Get it? Like, I hate what he says, so I hate watch him. Like, I got to know what he says because I got to know, but I hate-watch him. It's like, I'm just watching it because I know it's going to tick me off.
HANNITY: Okay. He doesn't want any conflict anywhere, and he was talking about violence. And I'm like, have you even read the Bible? Have you read the conflicts, the wars that were -- that the Israeli people that were they were empowered by God to defeat their enemies? Did you ever hear the story about David slaying Goliath through the power of God with a slingshot against this massive giant, or the conflicts and the wars of King Saul and so on and so forth. And frankly, all throughout Israel's history, they've been, you know, surrounded by enemies. But as God's chosen people, they, against all odds, keep winning. Pretty amazing.

Hannity is referencing the Old Testament stories of wars and genocides, many perpetrated by the Hebrews. Didn't Jesus say there was a better way? If people ignore the teachings of Jesus, and embrace the blood soaked Old Testament, why does Christianity exist?
