If they were sucessful with this arguement in Tennessee I don't see how that wouldn't apply to criticizing all and all spiritual beliefs/religions which of course would have detrimental effects on the Seperation of Church and State concept, allthough is pretty much ignored by the christians anyways.........

I was talking about so called christians not Jesus. If you read the new testament you would see that Jesus was against religion. He said the kingdom is within, not in a church.
I thought democracy came from Greece - centuries before Europe ever heard of Christianity. " Modern" democracy (still a work in progress) is revival of classical democracy - which couldn't have happened until after Europe and its colonies had begun to fight free of monarchy and the Holy Roman Church. Secular government became a possibility only after state religions were divested of their over-weaning power.
While a great many religious people have always been suspicious of one another, we had a reasonably tolerant society through most of the 20th century. The present conflicts are not caused by religion - they're caused by wars, imperialism, greed, displaced populations, poverty, injustice, fear, induced paranoia, the exploitation of renecks and brownnecks for political gain, bad diplomacy - they are caused really, grievously bad governance.
How's about we stop hurling invective at people we've never even met, and deal with only what a particular person has actually done that was illegal, harmful or ill-mannered?
Like I said to another poster, "Whoever taught you should give you your money back."
Then there are the Mormons. It really amazes me that that one took off when it is so obviously started by a con-man who was known as such when he was alive.
Where is the freedom in needing a Lord and Master? You are either self sufficient spiritually or you need an overlord. Where does religion fit into that picture?
Maybe in the military. I don't need anybody telling what to do or how to think or how to relate to my creator. I don't need a guide book or any authority over me. I know right from wrong.

Are you sure? The Spastics will differ with you on that one.
Nope, it's not OK and It's not exclusive to Muzzies but some figger "other than Muzzie" groups should get a pass.
Nope- Every religion has a hierarchy. Standard operating procedure.
Only the details differ on why Jews were targeted and why now Muslims can be.
But there are Imams that are radicals and these critters should be sent, return postage paid. Not needed at this address.
And yes many in the Muslim community are against terror and the media only pays lip service to these. The radicals get much more coverage, increasing their stature within the radical community.
There is no form of societal interaction that doesn't have a hierarchy... Even on the playground, little kids establish one
