I agree with you on the ends, in this case. Just not the means. People are born with some rights, whether God exists or not, including choice to worship. That makes banning religion a no-no IMO.

Pretty sure we agree that most churches/mosques/temples/etc do good work, even though RR made a great point about "decent people" of all stripes.

Seems Obama's ventures in the Middles East have not helped any. As a fact the ones we helped the most hate us the most.

To be fair a many of US Presidents have tried to make them like us and it fails every time. We need to pack our bags and get the F out. Let them kill them self from within.

The evidence is there to suggest that they just want to be left alone to live a 7th Century life.

Except the brave girls/women who are trying to get educated and break free, of course.

Pretty funny, but i take issue with the chart indicating there are no smart or awesome Christians or Muslims or that an Athiest cannot be narrowminded or judgemental. I also thnk "Hypocritical" should have been in large, bold font and underlined for Christians.

I'll give it 80% correct.

This never ceases to make me roll my eyes:

Bangladesh workers find survivor in factory rubble

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) -- A seamstress buried in the wreckage of a collapsed garment factory building for 17 days was rescued Friday, a miraculous moment set against a scene of unimaginable horror, where the death toll shot past 1,000.

Reshma survived, in remarkably good shape, by eating dried food that was in her area and drinking spare amounts of water with her. She was discovered on the second floor of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where crews have been focused on recovering bodies, not rescuing survivors, for much of the past two weeks.

And the most hilarious part?

Hundreds of people who had been engaged in the grim job of removing decomposing bodies from the site raised their hands together in prayer for her survival.

"Allah, you are the greatest, you can do anything. Please allow us all to rescue the survivor just found," said a man on a loudspeaker leading the supplicants. "We seek apology for our sins. Please pardon us, pardon the person found alive."


Mother****er, you need to be thanking the volunteers pulling the rubble aside! Anyone else find it laughable that a deity gets all the props and very little condemnation for allowing shoddy workplace safety? Religious types, not too bright.
