Re: What makes religion and politics so different?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] You appear to assume that deaths in Iraq due to politics and religion began with the US invasion. That assumption is incorrect. [/ QUOTE ] Good point, theweatherman also seems to place no value on democracy. The millions of Iraqis who will be voting again tomorrow <u>do</u> value democracy, as did the thousands of Americans who died in the American revolution. I sometimes get the impression that some people would have millions live in totalitarianism if it could save a single life. Being alive is not the most important thing in the world, the quality of life and freedom matters too. Some just don't get it. [/ QUOTE ] Our legal system disagrees. [/ QUOTE ] If you have a point, please state it. Your response is vague and worthless as stated. |

Re: What makes religion and politics so different?
Do people usually do things for you when you talk to them like that? I am certainly not going to go through the trouble of explaining a relatively simple point to someone so insulting.

Our legal system disagrees. [/ QUOTE ] This is the same legal system that sanctions killing people to protect oneself from serious injury, rape, or kidnap, right? |

Re: What makes religion and politics so different?
I believe those were UN Sanctions. And the deaths there due to politics and religion predated that, too and predated the first Gulf War, and probably predated Saddam as well.
Oh, but I forgot, you're one of those morons who thinks the US is always the bad guy. |

[/ QUOTE ] Wow, I see there are people waiting in line to take shots at me. My post was totally non political, all I was pointing out is that politics and religion are extremely different from from television preference because they have such enormous consequences. I could of said that religion and poilitics have brought democracyadn justice to Iraq and it would of meant the same thing, so reign in your flamers. |

Re: What makes religion and politics so different?
Religion and politics share the distinction of being two subjects on which liberals are so wrong. And being wrong on one nearly assures being wrong on the other.
