On taking Mohamed back from the Religious right. |

Shiva, Buddha and Zarathustra as well.
No one has a fucking clue when it comes to the legitimacy of proclaimed "deities."
What about those who chose to believe there is no clear path or that we are just a biological phenomenon that just simply lives and dies?
The religious bigots have been very active this election trying to brand Obama a Muslim. Many others have sung praises that he is a Christian.
WHY should either matter? You want to look at the bad side of Christianity and Judaism? Take a walk through Leviticus and then go kill the neighbor that works on Sunday, the football players that touch the dead skin of pigs and sell your daughters into slavery while killing your Mom for wearing a polyester cotton blend. And you can find a few things in the Quoran as well.
This country was FOUNDED on the idea of seperation of church and state. We are NOT a "Christian Nation" as then we'd all be living like St. Francis of Assisi and we are FAR, FAR away from that.
We're all just people with our own tools to make it through the day. Let's not take those tools and try to beat up our neighbor with them. Beat those fucking swords into plowshares. Take those edicts from your religion that you know are good and hold them true.
Do not kill. Do not cheat or steal. Help others.
It's really pretty much that simple.
Now, I'll just sit back and feel good that America has been given a second chance.

"be nice" is the common thread in all religions. I was adding to your post, not criticizing you.

Gosh, I guess I have just been hoisted by my own petard.
Thank you.
