        I just can't help but think of what Santorum's name has been euphemised into... it seems so fitting.

              *headslap* Seriously, this is what happens when you elect people who flunked history...repeatedly...and the parents didn't want to get involved in the learning process (or possibly used it to teach propaganda)...and possibly sniffing paints of the Pb persuasion...

                I think the events of the Crusades speak for themselves much better than any politician..... especially one who doesn't know his history!

                    Well, it's not surprising. As long as you have people who value religion higher than they value humanity, you'll have people who will use religion to justify inhumanity. If it ever comes to be that people grow up enough to value humanity more than religion, somebody'll find some other way to justify inhumanity - say some economic theory, like communism, or capitalism, or whatever...
                    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                      Yes! History is all just Leftist Propaganda. Remember the Wobbies, and all those other Unions' struggle for workers rights? Liberal Propaganda! to try and feed the tax and spend Democrats' agenda. We have to remove this filth from our classrooms, because we're forcing our teachers to brainwash our students to think they have options and stuff - we only need one party in this country! We'll fire all the history teachers, and that'll somehow create jobs too.

                        This goes along with the assertion that Jesus was a white dude with blue eyes and so were Adam and Eve.

                            Yeah while I DO think it's possible to not dehumanize others, I think it's a process for sure. Over here religion isn't such a big deal (40% of Germany is atheist and 20% is only broadly spiritual, and that's Germany as a whole...berlin has a much higher percentage of atheism)....because so many people aren't religious it's more a personal thing for most people. But I feel that there are much stronger class divisions than in Canada. People get put in their place really early on and I think it creates divisions. It's more education-based than economic-based (the bias isn't what kind of family you come from, but what kind of education you have), but of course if you come from a poor or immigrant background you're statistically less likely to go to university.

                              But the real problem is that they aren't really religious at all. I wish they'd be more religious. Is this something that Jesus, peace be upon him, would agree with?

                              More and more they are becoming the very people Jesus Christ kept on criticizing. Hypocrites, who on the outside look like the spokespeople of religion, but from the inside they aren't religious at all.
