While one can debate theology all day long, the reality is that no organization that puts kids in the sex market, commits genocide and other horrors, is going to be taken seriously as a "Xtian" group in today's world. A few centuries ago - many groups that are now "mainstream" did exactly that - and were accepted. But not today.

Any time a group claims religion as an excuse for war its BS. But the point still stands that President Obama is sending troops to combat the LRA but not any of the Islamic militias and rebels that have been murdering civilians all across Africa. If you are to oppose genocide, you don't do it selectively.
