These others should be removed from any position of authority, if their own personal religious beliefs keep them from doing their jobs properly.


I think your examples are part of the reason for the way many people attack the religious.

When Dubyah was re selected (more about those voting machines, than the religious right), they credited the religious in the country.


That led to the rift between those who think religion is a personal matter, and those who think it should affect national policy.


There are way too many good aspects of all religions, to dismiss those that are followers. The problem will always lie in the way self proclaimed leaders choose to deliver the message.

I agree 100%. My problem with The Bible is people use it as a weapon. After all, if it were really divine, wouldn't it be perfection? Are we really an abomination if we eat pork, seafood, rabbit? Should people really be stoned for adultery? If you believe it's divine, aren't you compelled to follow ALL of it! I think if God were going to speak to us in such a sublime way, it would be perfect, and He would include some conduct on WMDs.

E-man - read a book every now and then:
