[The Straight Story]

I was talking about how it is easier here to rip on one group vs others.

I ain't no fan of many an organized religion. I have not been to church in many years myself because I don't like it myself (organized religion).

I think it should be kept personal, out of govt.

I also think though we need to investigate all faiths and their roles in government, the world, etc, without simply worrying only about one and being scared to piss off the others.

Let's see more threads about jews, buddhists, islam, et al. I am all for open discussion.

My point was that we don't have open discussion on all.

I had one post someone made tonight alerted on and deleted because it was 'derogatory' towards muslims (though anyone could tell the guy meant islam).

We don't see that same level of moderating on christians here. And that is fine - as long as we are fair across the board in our condemnation of groups.

Start posting anti-islam stuff and you are promoting bush and hatred. How does that work??
