Ten, re: What do YOU think they would do if they had the wealth of the United States? Spend it on SUVs, houses, french fries, and lawsuits like we do? Could be, I don't know. But you don't base policy on "what if". re: I'm just saying that they would indeed do whatever it takes to convert the entire world to Islam. That's how strong their faith in Allah is. To deny this is to deny their faith and its significance, except whenever you want to fit it into your "Blame America First" rants. The Christian right has the exact same goal. Are you saying all religious evangelism is wrong, or just the ones you don't believe in? re: But we've done so much to get "God" out of the public and turn this nation into a religion-free zone that most of us have forgotten the significance of religion. You don't believe in the separation of church and state? What's your opinion on the Constitution? re: I'm just trying to open up another viewpoint and make the picture clearer. You don't have to let go of your disapproval of Bush and his actions. You just have to realize that you might be forgetting or dismissing a very important part of the picture. Your denial of a religious motive is transparent, you protest too much. You are right that this is a secular government, and that's a very good thing. It's where we've come from, it's part of what's made us great. Tolerance, (a sincere attempt at) equal treatment. It's a very large part of the core value of this country; it's what's made us great. Ten, if you fear other beliefs, it only makes them stronger. Accept them as a part of the fabric of life. It will only make you and your faith more real. It's the Christian way. John
