2. Your point is?

The fundamentalists and the Taliban share the same goal?

[still_one]

3. my point is that fundamentalism in all forms is bad

and yes Erika that would include Jewish Fundamentalism, Muslim Fundamentalism, and Christian Fundamentalism

Do you think we might agree on just that point?

4. Compared to what?

:shrug:

[sutz12]

7. I would say compared to rational thought ....

you know, that whole enlightenment thing where people started thinking for themselves instead of getting all of their "facts" from some millenia old scrolls.

5. When did Pat Robertson grow a beard and learn to speak Arabic? (nt)

6. I also notice the similarity

8. The thing is, religion is just a ruse these bastards use

...to dupe people into doing things for them. Specifically, to give them money and power.

Look at our administration. Amoral to a one, but they use religion for their own ends as effectively as bin Laden or this mullah. They're all snake oil salesmen. Extremism's insularity and focus of shared hate sell big when people are feeling impotent and scared.

9. it is quite sad, that very little critical thinking goes on

10. Just another bigoted whackjob. (nt)
