Pat Robertson, one of the men who worked tirelessly to drag evangelical Christians into the political arena, lashed out at Islam the other day. He claimed it was not a religion but a political system that was bent on world domination.Of course the fact that the Bronze age cult that he is a leader of wants to dominate the world and turn us all into Bible thumpin' followers of right wing Republican tax cuts for the rich Jesus must have slipped his increasingly senile mind.
One of the most pressing problems we face today as humans is religious extremism. And I mean extremism from Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, Scientologists, Shintoists, etc. When one religion claims it is the only one true religion and it's adherents then try to force it on others and insert it in to government, then we've got problems and people are going to take the metaphor of their religion seriously enough to kill others who don't believe as they do.
Maybe if idiots like Pat Robertson keep up their nonsense then more people will get disgusted with organized religion and they'll stop taking him and his twisted metaphors literally.

Frustrating, isn't it? We can only hope more and more people tire of the stupid words people like Robertson keep spouting!
Now that you mention it, I heard the other day that Shinto extremism is on the rise.
Doc
Hypocrisy from Osama bin Robertson is the rule, not the exception.
As for being disgusted with organized religion, I have just said no to religion for a long time.
That old mummy can lick my pouch.
And that in a nutshell in why I turned my back on organized religion.
Someone should remind Pat that Jesus hates hypocrites more than anything.
