I don't mind people having a belief in a God, or having a moral base, or even following the ideas of Jesus. The problem is - is when those who follow the Holy Bible or the Koran or whatever, believe they should dictate every human beings life through their shallow views, or even kill people due to their shallow views.

For instance; the power to ban anything, like, cartoons, such as Mighty Mouse, because (in a cartoon episode) Mighty Mouse smells some flowers and they (comically) go up Mighty's nose. An average intelligent (well balanced) person would consider that just some joke for the cartoon. Not Rev. Wildmon. He claimed that - that episode of Mighty Mouse was suggesting that it was okay to sniff cocaine!

Wha-?!

Now, I'm so happy that the Christians have banned Mighty Mouse. Parents can rest easy knowing that Mighty Mouse is off the air, or at least that episode is.

The church has a responsibility, in that, it should teach, and preach to those who believe, and stay out of politics, and other religions, and vise versa.

Is fundamental beliefs in God the reason why the Middle East is in such an uproar?

Are crooked ideas, and outlandish interpretations, in anything that has to do with religion, the reason why we had the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Klu Klux Klan, the idea of "White Supremacy" (when most prophets where anything but white)?

Uh...

.... Yeah.

The shallow view points that come along with firm and strict religious beliefs cause nothing but violence and fear.

Religion, of any kind, is a dictatorship. It will, and has, controlled the way people think and act. Most of the time it has been for the worst.

With the systems, the powers that be, and the church all shaking each-other's hands (in this land of religious freedom) we will all fall.

If this is what Jesus Christ wants, then consider me a heretic.
