Andy Andy Andy...

You always have to go waaaay off the tracks don't you? You had a rational point to make. That point being that people often USE religion as a stepping stone to power and then when in power morph it into something very unbecoming... even evil.

But then that actually plays right into the topic and the Anti-Theism's group's point, right? That religion is never kept pure when political gain is involved and as such must be kept SEPARATE from government.

And then waaaay waaaaay waaaaaay off the tracks you go with a blatantly cheap shot on our President of the United States of America. I recall many things like... candidate Obama was first bashed as a Muslin (lie #1) and then after that didn't stick blamed him for a statement of his Christian pastor (ridiculous #2) and all candidates from both sides are always sort of dragged into the "I'm a religious person" spotlight by the rantings of the Religious Right.

So then to act like this is somehow an "Obama" situation... come on dude!
