Religion weaker? Really?

Post #143,533 by hnick 2/26/04 5:19:58 PM Reply	Religion weaker? Really? The religious Right has been destroying freedom more now than anytime I can personally recall. Religious whackadoos are sniping abortionists and blowing up clinics. Others are blowing up anything the can get near in the mid-East. The fuckwits are going to get Bush elected only because "He's a Christian". Religion doesn't need protection. Its victims do.

Once it became legal, it was the vigilantes that caused the damage. I can't speak to what "Police" do outside the US, being sort of a provincial lout... Sorry about that.

In fact, police now enforces the opposite - court orders that demostrators should not interfere with the work of clinics, and religious nuts have to resort to illegal tactics. I think that's an illustration of religion's influence weakening, not getting stronger. -- The number of the beast - vi vi vi --[link\|http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?QuotesOnComputers\|Delexa Jones]
