Re: Europe's cartoon jihad
Oh sigh... Yes, I think it is important to respect and be sensitive to other peoples belief systems. That said, as an atheist, I've encountered discrimination too; some of it really, really strange. Like, I'm wihout deity, therefore I'm in league with Satan - I mean for crying out loud! I don't believe in that either for "heavens" sake. One co-worker is so filled with fear of me because of my atheism, this co-worker has subjected me to some pretty un-christian behavior. Go figure that one out.
When you look at so many issues today, most of them have religion at its base and this is profoundly tragic; because tomorrow the real issue is going to be access to potable water and gobal warming; and all this stuff going on today is going to look pretty small by comparison. It's like my favorite bumper sticker: "I'm a militant agnostic. I don't know and neither do you."
Sick 'n tired of religion...
