re: It is ok to believe what you want
"To rule other's lives according to your beliefs is a quick return to the dark ages."
Quite - when I hear GWB say 'God Bless America' after he's talked about how his troops are fighting this battle, or dropping these bombs etc etc - THAT, is seriously screwed up.
Demonstrating a 'faith' that your troops are doing the right thing based on a 'god' is monumentally stupid. To commit troops to war because you have 'god on our side' is to commit the same crime that extreamist Muslim terrorists commit - death in the name of faith.
