it's Liberty Hall for anyone of bad faith looking for nasty quotes

Absolutely correct. And that was my perspective, if you read the fallow ups I had with Hawk.

From where I stand, I care little what if those statements are "true" or not. I acknowledge that if you dig deep enough, you will find statements to support any positive or negative position you want in almost any religion. Humans quite freely contradict explicit religious edicts when they are deemed incompatible with their immediate political reality. It is only where they can support their agenda through religious edicts that they get a religion.

I therefore find it very hypocritical and dangerous to pick and choose statements from various religious-political groups as justifications for demonizing and invading countries, cultures, or people. Such approaches fail to acknowledge the fluidity of human "interpretation" of religious edicts. If you are going to fight something, make your case based on the proper perception of the underlying realities.
