I read the transcript of Bill Moyer's speech this afternoon. As usual with his work, I was struck by how he can take a potentially explosive issue, such as religion in America, and talk about it in a manner that is respectful and constructive as well as truthful.  Unfortunately you do not have that talent.

thank you for making my point.

I knew I could count on you, or one of the other "you must GENUFLECT to religion" cultists.

and of course, you didn't read what I wrote, or caught my point, but that isn't a suprise either.

I loved Moyers piece when I read it yesterday and I love this one also. Something tells me that Moyers would too.

Maybe your god is listening Mary and he will reward you for demanding bloggers tiptoe around religion. Maybe reward you for leaving the insulting comment with the unbeliever.

While Karl Marx was wrong about a lot of things, he was right about one thing.  "Religion is the opiate of the masses."  We can modify that statement today to say fundamentalist religion of any stripe, Christian, Muslim or Jewish is the crack cocaine of the masses.

Madman hit the nail on the head.  Religion of or about Jesus.  The religion of Jesus was to contrast God's imperial rule (what the crusty old duffers who wrote the King James version call the kingdom of god because, of course, they wanted to kiss King James's ass) with the Roman empire.  And then to ask, you choose?  The religion about Jesus is a triumphalist turning of Jesus on his head, best exemplified by the Jesus in the cartoon in Madman's piece.  This is, by the way, also the Jesus of the lunatic last book in the New Testament, Revelation.

All Progressives need to become ardent supporters of the Second, as well as the , First Amendment
