"While I sympathize with your difficulties with the Bush administration and its pandering to the "Christian" lobby, Mrzzy, I hardly see that religion itself is the problem here."

       The way I think religion is the problem here is like this: people who I know who go to church, and with whom I have to do business, will happily screw you to death on Friday, then go down to the church and roll around on the floor until god forgives them.
       And then on Monday morning they emerge back in public to gleefully screw somebody else.
