Subject: RE: Thought for the day Mar 3-loss of Buddha
OK, so maybe here in the US we can destroy all religious artifacts because we have Religious Freedom " garunteed" in the Constitution? And, we also have the Seperation of Church and State............should we destroy all "icons" of faith?

No more crosses in front of churches, no more Mogen Doveds on wine bottles, ABSOLUTELY NO MORE Nativity scenes in December.........and we must smash and destroy any prior evidence in the Western World.......such as the Chalice of Armagh, all the "High Crosses", all the Spirit Gates to Chinese restaurants.........

I can't imagine a culture without Icons........be they Bhuddas, Crosses, Golden Arches, or whatever. We are not talking Religion here, but History and Culture........I, for one, cannot imagine a world without the Great Bhudda,Jesus, Mohammed, Isis, etc.

Taliban wants to be the only identity in their world, and "Mother" Nature is just not going to allow that. Sorry, but she isn't. "She" is already kicking up a fuss about HIV/AIDS and other stuff.......including foot and mouth disease.
