Really now , I have no intention of minimizing the ugly ruthless behavior of the ISIL's . I am trying to point out that throughout history people have done f*%ked up s**t. Many claimed God was on their side. Others claimed Allah. One guy said a dog in his neighbors yard told him to shoot people. The ISIL dudes claim to be Muslims and I guess they say the Koran says what they do is okay. The great majority of Muslims say that no , it's not okay and the Koran doesn't say it is. The president wants to prevent a holy war by trying to explain that many have used religion as an excuse to murder or oppress others. It appears that is what ISIL does. The president does not support them in any way by attempting to say all of Islam does not have the same intent. I don't need to explain this to you because you knew when you heard it.

I agree, There should be no changes for Islam in America... its either fit in and obey our laws or hit the road,,, same thing for anyone coming here... What they do in their own country's in the name of Islam is up to them.... The world as a people will have to get together and v**e on what is right or wrong if this extremism keeps up.... if the few can control the many in this barbaric manor then the many will suffer...this is up to the many to solve this .... givin the magnitude of the problem, a little time and patience is mandatory... we should not over react.

Obama's religion is himself; he is his own god.The Prevaricator-in-Chief is not a Christian. He is not a Muslim either, except perhaps in his agreement with their desire to destroy the West. He seems to agree with their politics while claiming not to adhere to their religious beliefs. I believe Obama has no religion, other than what is politically advantageous to Obama. This is quite malleable, like his political opinions which he seems to change more frequently than his underwear.

I would predict that you have picked the wrong person to correct on almost any subject. Brace yourself.
Why is that? As much as Loki might like to he can't rewrite history. The principle influence of the 18th century was the enlightenment and the age of reason. The only concern of religion for the founders was structuring laws so that each person was free to practice any way they so chose. TJ wrote in 1782 "But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." And while we all can find just about any quote we want from the founders this single quote sums up best what the founding of our country was all about--that is freedom--to choose the way we believe without interference--from both government and from man.
If you, Loki, or anyone would like to argue differently then please lets have at it. It will at least make for a much more interesting argument then blathering on about Obamas latest imaginary sin...

So if I believed in Satan that would be better than not believing in anything? Why is that?
And you didn't answer my original question. What is good about any religion? Simply saying some are good and some are very very good says nothing as to why religion is good or bad in the first place.
