Short Stories, Long Odds

I don’t understand how the NeoCons simultaneously:

• Support the culture of life and defend it at any costs
• believe that only God should / can / is allowed to take a life
• be staunch supporters of capital punishment and the death penalty
• write and sign legislation that unplugs the vegetative patients if they can’t pay for their care
• be adamantly pro-war, hawkish to the point that sanctions and military moves that react in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people are totally acceptable

I’m honestly curious. How does this work? How can they, as a group, be so adamant about the Culture of Life and the Sanctity of Life and protecting Life and yet be so ready and willing to kill?

If someone can explain it to me, I would be most grateful. Seriously.

Additionally, if someone could explain the whole “Only God can decide when its time for someone to die” vs. “Man-made machines prolonging the dying process indefinitely as the will of God” binary that would be great too. Is it God’s will only when we’ve tried everything possible to fight it off?
