Philosophical Differences
Hi kids...
Keep your eye on dangerous religo-nazi republicans... they're up to no good.
In order to help ebb the tide of all of the seperation of church and state and 1st amendment law suits going around... the religious fanatics in our country are going to change our language instead of changing the Constitution... because it's easier.
In the old days... Christianity was a religion. So was Hinduism, Taoism, and any other religion you could found in Civilization 4. Not any more.
Religions are protected or restricted by various constitutional mandates... depending on which side of the shroud you're on.
Philosophies are not.
That's right ladies and gentlemen... the latest craze in DC is to refer to Christianity (and all of its symbols on federal land) as a philosophy. Catholicism, Baptist, Methodist, Anglican... those are all religions.
So you can put a cross in a courthouse and say in god we trust on money... because that's a common christian philosophy... not a religous icon. If our money said, "Baptist Bill Be Blessed"... then... well that's religion encroaching.
Note... star of david... that's Jewish... and Judaism is still a religion... as are all of the other ones. So no star of David in a courthouse.
You must completely embrace the duality of Christianity now... it's a philosophy... when it needs to spread. It's a religion when it needs protection.
Gotta love the simplicity and perfection of a fatal virus mutation.

The irony is Pat Robinson has just as many economic and foreign policy left wing positions as he has cultural right-wing ones.
The religous left is far outpacing the religious right. The RR has all the symbols but the RL has their fingers in more law and policy decisions. The RR just wants to tell me who I can f**k. The RL wants to control every other decision in my life.
