Which supports my case. Religion is not different than politics.
Differing
view/allegiances/beliefs, zealots, and human nature underlying it all.
It's
not religion, it's the people in religion. The multiplicity of religion
does not diminish the point. One religion or one hundred thousand, it
still
comes down to human nature. As I said in another post, remove religion
and
humans will still find a way to carry on their antics against one
another.

Hell - just look at what goes on here in a usenet newsgroup. Religion
does
not even have to enter the picture. Look back over the past month of
posts.
You'll see plenty of human nature at work.


I think the psychobabble people call what you're doing "projection." You
ascribe to others the same rigidity you're displaying. They believe, you
believe. Where you differ, you expect them to become enlightened and
accept
your point of view. It's not about the facts, it's about truth, two very
different things. Truth is the personal interpretation of the facts, and
is
often in conflict with them.


Now, that is psychobabble if ever it existed. What's rigid in what I wrote?
I simply said it's the people who cause problems, not institutions such as
religion. Nothing rigid in that. Nothing to project either. You seem to
be the one with the projector George.
