Religion Kills People
I've only skimmed this, so no comment for now. Feel free to start without me.
Update: I've thought long and hard about this, and my official statement is...who cares?
I just can't get worked up about it. HSLDA is not going to build a Christian Army and take over the country. We are not returning to a world where all women are subservient to their husbands and non-believers are regularly burned at the stake.
In fact, I'll be surprised if they can even keep a Republican in the White House in 2008. If the Democrats will nominate somebody just slightly to the right of raving moonbat, whose last name is not Rodham Clinton, they should take the White House back. The country has gotten a good look at one party Republican rule and it looks surprisingly like one party Democratic rule.
I'm looking forward to gridlock again.

Bottom line is that people kill people. No matter what your worldview or belief system or opinion or philosopy or whaterver, you'll find that something we all have in common is a desire to do bad things. Sure, people who call themselves "Christian" and acting on "god's will" have done a lot of bad things over time, but we should keep some perspective here. I think it is reasonable to say that secularism or atheism killed far more people in the 20th century than all killings in the name of religion for that century combined. I would think that Stalin alone killed more than religion.
The answer to this universal human problem is Christ. Be honest with yourself and seek out the answer.

I posted a link and blurb as well.

Posted by: COD at October 26, 2005 04:22 PMI like Liza, and have enjoyed her "edgy" blog in the past, but this one is a little further over the edge than I care for.
I hope this one falls into the category of "now I've got that out of my system and I feel better."
