[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] OOh, I shouldn't touch this with a ten-meter cattle prod, BUT... Actually, I thought that was an excellent post and rebuttal. However, The points made about 'religion' are largely generalities, and largely true. The points made about 'Catholicism' are largely true, as well. But we're talking generalities versus specifics. It should also be pointed out that this 'enlightened' Catholic church is a relatively recent phenomenon, (coming, as it does, AFTER the Inquisitions, Witch hunts, Crusades, persecutions, etc., etc.) and not necessarily a permanent situation. Watch must be kept. Similarly, although the power of Fundamentalism in the US is currently fairly weak, we should not lose sight of the fact that many of these people WOULD be just like the Taliban, if they could get away with it. Since they can't, they try to worm their way into our lives by doing things like pushing for Creationism to be taught in schools, trying to ban 'Harry Potter', and similar things. Religion also gives us self-appointed 'moral champions' like Robertson, Falwell, Torquemada, and BinLaden. Be tolerant, but be vigilant, as well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
