How do you know that? Did you have host google that for you somehow and you automatically believe it, well its simply not true; I am for some federally funded social programs such as veterans assistance, domestic abuse, healthcare, drug addiction/education, mental health issues, creative arts endowments, international aid programs and the like. So, Apples & Oranges.
vanblah, you are correct. One can study religion without being personally religious. I don't think that is the point here, the point that was meant by this thread. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've yet to see it...would be happy to be surprised. Whether one perceives the "gap" between Islam and Christianity small or large - or whether there is an Islamic Jesus - is besides the point: the 2 sides have been warring for centuries. When one says, "they don't hate us", well, I would say take a look around: some of them do. Some of them hate us so much in fact, that they do some pretty obscene things to drive just that point home. And right or wrong, some of us hate them back.
But I see what will is trying to do here, and I suppose it is admirable, although I know in the same breath he supports what Hamas and Hezbollah are trying to do to Israel. Will, why don't you send that video to Nasrallah of Hezbollah or Ahmadinejad in Iran, see what they make of it.
