Re: Mohammed's High Status
Stand up with a Bible in hand and preach in Egypt or Saudi Arabia and you're not just going to maybe, but probably not, run across someone yelling God hates Christians, but are likely unless GOd protects you, to be killed right there on the spot or imprisoned.
this always gets me. ok rand lets say we had a fundi theocracy for instance just like say how some of the islamic states are, would your goverment who is hard-line enough to want one religion, would you logicically allow other religions to be taught?
in my mind if i was both goverment and religious leader i wouldn't, based on the fact that my control stems more from religious belief than being the leader of the goverment since the laws stem from the religion
all of this isn't about the religion itself, its about using the religion to enforce political control over people
i mean really this just makes marx ring more true, religion is the opate of the masses

Re: Mohammed's High Status
Rev, I thought you guys already insist that with Bush and the GOP in control, that the fundies do rule our government.
did i ever say the american goverment was a theocracy?
please post evidence of this
OK, where is the persecution? How many Muslims, liberals, commies and what-not were strung up or beheaded today?
i would say we have little because our goverment can be controlled by the people its not a theocracy
did you even understand what i wrote or are you just trying to distort my point
