>It was not my intention to say the things described in the BBC story are happening in the U.S. in a literal sense. We do not put people on trial or threaten them with death for not adhering to the dominant religion. My point was that committed Christian forces in the U.S. are trying to completely erase the line between church and state, and that they grow bolder all the time. But it was reasonable of all of you to take me in a more literal sense. For that I apologize.

Christians vote much the same way like everyone else. They vote for a candidate they feel best match their values. Don't you? Hasn't it always been that way?

Maybe in the next election, the "other" side candidate will win. Isn't that the way it is?

I think this fear of US-theocracy is hysteria created by the FAR, and I mean FAR, left-media.


But that's not at all what this thread was about. It wasn't about Christians trying to get their agenda on-line with the gov't. It was about a basic human right being violated in some country far far away.
