Looking at the reactions to those cartoons, you have to wonder if our cultures will ever be compatible.

1. Always has been; probably always will be

so long as people insist that their god is better than somebody else's god.

[Bill McBlueState]

2. these gods

You'd think if these various gods had any interest in peace, they'd communicate with us in a completely clear, obvious way that not even a rationalist could deny. They'd tell us which one is in charge, which ones are real, which ones are fake, etc.

So either the various gods that are claimed to exist really like all the violence we're perpetrating against one another in their names, or they don't exist. I suppose it makes for good drama.

3. When people conduct their lives according to supernatural and

totally bogus values, disaster will always occur. Our problem is that the witch doctors are supporting the greedy corporate bastards as the wreck the world.

I know it isn't likely, but it sure would be nice.

11. Glad you think so. Thanks.

Actually I should say that brainwashing/religious indoctrination should be banned, especially when it is forced on little children. It's abuse pure and simple.

13. If you don't instill the fear while they're young, you'll never get them

when they're older...

5. I'm Not Sure They Have To Be Compatible. Just Respected.

8. Maybe the "one true God" is schizophrenic and has yet

to enroll in the Big Pharma Medicare Bill?

Give that God his meds!

He wavers among the "true" religions too often. His subjects are weary of nodding their heads side-to-side as if in a tennis match.

Me? I am a measly pagan. Happy to rub a dog once in while....

9. I came to the conclusion sometime ago

all religion is bad for you.
