SleepingFox discovered 12 months ago- From the page: "More dangerous are those who genuinely believe that they are commanded to do ill. When bad policy is perceived as divine dogma, innocent people inevitably suffer. So it has been with the Iraq war. Some self-professed Christians have so fervently backed the conflict that they might as well be sporting wristbands emblazoned with the slogan, "Who Would Jesus Kill?""

- From the page: "claiming that "God is on my side" plays the ultimate trump in any dispute." Every time I hear that it reminds me of Joan Baez singing "...if God is on our side, he'll stop the next war". When will we stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated into violence by rhetoric? When will we realize that deep down all people want the same things for themselves and their loved ones. Let's all wake up and realize what is truly important in life. It isn't more things, or being a religious martyr, or fighting or defending. It is LIVING! Simply as human BEINGS - not human DOINGS.

- From the page: "Religion, not patriotism, truly is the last refuge of the scoundrel. While most believers want to worship God and serve their fellow human beings, a few people twist the sacred for personal and political profit. Indeed, claiming that "God is on my side" plays the ultimate trump in any dispute. Today most people of faith believe that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. The strongest opposition, according to a recent Gallup poll, comes from black Protestants, 78% to 18%, and Jews, 77%-21%. Catholics followed, with 53% to 46%. But Mormons backed the war, 72% to 27%. White Protestants continued to support the conflict, 55% to 43%. Evangelicals have been among the Bush administration's most consistent backers. Although even their support for the war has dropped, last fall 58 percent of evangelicals still endorsed the invasion. Yet ambitious fraudsters are usually found out. More dangerous are those who genuinely believe that they are commanded to do ill. When bad policy is perceived as divine dogma, innocent people inevitably suffer."
