Here we go again – Right Wing Neo Conservatism on display for all the world to gasp at.
Such a confused little man.
He goes from religion to government to Christianity to faith to fear all in one sentence. My favorite line is “As long as they submit to our laws…” Submit is an accurate word and that is at the heart of this. Scared people make other people submit. Constantine had a glorious vision. His vision was the marriage of politics and religion. The empire of Rome could live forever with that alliance and it has.
Burning someones magic book because you think the author of your magic book told you to do it to make him happy is insane. If the one true God wrote your magic book, I am quite certain he wouldn’t need your help making sure it sticks around by burning the magic books of all other Gods. On the other hand, if your magic book tells you to kill everyone that does not believe your magic book to make the author of your magic book happy, I am also quite certain if he is the one true God he also would not need your help.
Can we just stop killing each other over our magic books about an all powerful God already? It makes him look pathetic and weak and very much human.
Can we stop provoking each other long enough to let the dogs of war sit down and remember what it is like to live in peace?
Burning the Holy Koran will lead to one thing:
