    Your flags suggest you're an American--in which case I feel that I must inform you that the United States is not a Christian nation, and therefore has no obligation to intervene on that basis. If we were an anti-death-penalty nation, then we might have a moral justification for intervention on those grounds.

    Then Maybe we should create our own Christian army to save our people.

    If Christians feel like volunteering to go die at the hands of some Iranians because someone felt he was above the law in a theocratic state, I certainly wouldn't object.

    True the U.S.A is a secular nation with religious people in it we can still get pissed off about a government killing people for things we think its wrong to kill for

    just like we can get mad if a government imprisons people unjustly for what we don’t considers crimes like speaking out against the government for example even if we have prisons

    don’t know how a place that is opposed to inflicting death on people who kill other people can go and kill people in a war for killing other people

    Exactly what Christian nation are you talking about? America is a secular nation.

    some of the people hear believe they are under a god I myself as an American am not i don’t trust in any gods even as an American with a few dollar bills in his wallet this is not a theocracy people are free from the control of your religion hear.

    The United States is not just a more religiously tolerant Christian version of Iran even if you want it to be

    You never heard of Christian martyrdom did you? Armies are not quite Jesus' style. Christians are asked to take their cross and follow him, not their sword.

    And if he's a good Christian this Iranian man would probably hate the fact that his fate is abused for cheap warmongering propaganda.

    I am glad you have cited actual abuse.

    Something more serious than preventing the government from imposing religious values on the American people.

    However there would be justification in stopping "genocide".

    I'm not sure that a death sentence for apostasy counts as genocide, exactly. It could be similar...

    "Onward Christian soldiers,,,,,,"

    Why stop at Muslim countries? Let's invade Buddhist and Hindu countries also and any country with a high populatiion of Atheists.

    You live in lala land!

    And what are you proposing...........waging a war against Iran? I would suggest God's divine intervention over solving problems the way those in the world does. An attack against Christians is an attack against God....it is not against the U.S or any other Country.

    Might just want to attack places that openly attack Christians for expressing their faith and such criminal acts as trying to spread it
