Quote:Whatever his beef is with religion is beyond my power to divine, but it goes deeper than mere difference in philosophy. There are people, such as yourself, who are indifferent to those who you might see as wasting their time with religion as long as they leave you out of it. And, then, there are people who despise it so much they actively go out of their way to denigrate and belittle.
Pete, Kandrathe,
I would never mock somebodies god. Like at the moment is very popular under european right wingers with the god of islam as subject (remember the cartoon 'riot' some time ago).
My problem, (and I have no intention to hide my opinion or be sneaky in another way) is with religion in politics. Most religious people only have problems with 'another religion in politics'.
Anyway, it is a pity noone gave a reaction on the question/discussion point I raised. Namely the fact that the christian right in the european parliament voted as one big block against something that for sure in a land as Holland would be voted for by the whole parliament, namely to mantain freedom of press and reprimand anyone that clearly abuses this freedom. The christian right, a union of representatives from all EU countries has always been one of the sure voices of a united EU/ a EU constitution etc. That they as a block support someone like berlusconi (who is by far a representative of good christian values) is an outrage.
