"Ground Zero Mosque", Idiotic debate Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

Anyone else think this whole debate is as asinine as I do? It isn't at Ground Zero and it isn't a Mosque.

i think religion should be dismissed entirely. I think it turns many people away from the idea of a higher power through its perversions of truth and bronz-age assertions. If there is a higher power it doesnt care if you eat a pig or whack the salami in your spare time, nor does it require you to feel guilty about private instinctive thoughts. Thats why i liked the song heaven on a lyrical level. i took that song as meaning that ed doesnt need any specific religion telling him there is a god, because all the proof he needs is right before his eyes. If there is a god it is something that everyone should be able to understand through perception of the natural world, not only available to those who have had the advantage of the word being spread to them or being born in a certain part of the world.

yet now he digs jesus

As long as that salami is kosher/halal
