"Religion empowers people by making them feel that they have supernatural powers protecting them, and gives feelings of hope, but for many others it gives the right to commit inhumane acts, upon others, in the name of their god."

In this latter comment were you referring to Mr. Bush and the "justification" he finds in right-wing Christian teachings for attacking Iraq?

Namaste!

Jim

Robert, I was discussing what Hitler's speeches were like when he was trying to rev up support of people to back him. I seriously bet--and it'd be a very long and scrutinous undertaking--that if you were to compare Saddam vs. Hitler speeches to Bush vs. Hitler speeches (pre-war) that Bush's would come out sounding most similar. That's all I said.
