You've got it wrong. I'm more along the lines of the neo-conservatives in terms of foreign policy. think David Frum was correct with his "Unpatriotic Conservatives" article, I might add. Don't think you can pin me down that easily, or even accuse me of being a paleocon. I have nothing but hostility towards them. At a minimum, they tolerate anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry.

You failed to address my concerns that you seem to be an enlightenment-style religious relativist to whom anyone who takes his religion seriously (ie, believes it is actually true) is a dangerous extremist.

What are your grounds for condemning anti-Semitism, bigotry, or anything else as objectively evil? Only an Omnipotent Creator can define what is good and what is evil.

And no, you're wrong. I don't care how "barbaric" that sounds, it is simply true!

I really don't care about your concerns. Nothing I post is going to change your mind on that front.

But I DO care when you falsely portray my tolerance of people's decision on how they decide to view God - a decision that is quite personal - as a sign that I am a "religious relativist".

My religion's view on this (yes, I am Mormon) is clear: "We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."

The decision of how to worship is between a person, their conscience, a priest/rabbi/imam/whatever, and God. Unless their actions in the exercise of that religion violate the rights of others.

As far as I know, the Founding Fathers pretty much insisted on the same thing - or will you next accuse me of misreading the First Amendment?
