Oh but NOW I have to disagree, Mike...this country, as opposed to my homeland!!!!, constitutionally was founded on the basis of "RELIGIOUS FREEDOM", NOT on the religion of CHRISTIANITY (even tough the original settlers WERE christian!!!!). Each of us is FREE to worship whichever deity (or not) we wish. We are now at the point where Christianity has become a de facto 'standard' in this country, and you are made to feel guilty if you are NOT! How many of our current presidential candidates has even mentioned any other god than the christian one??????

My issue with Republicans (broad and unfair generalization, I admit, and I don't mean it to sound that way) is that they ONLY allow religious freedom IF AND ONLY IF that religion is somehow based on christian beliefs! (and DON'T EVEN get me started on THAT!!!!)

How many Republicans do you know who are Buddhist, Jewish, Shinto, etc.?

ps I agree with Flip in that Europe (especially France and Belgium!!!) is screwed because of their too liberal attitudes towards fundamantal muslims!!!

pps England is starting to realize that "invisible friends" aren't REAL!!!!!!
