Thats what I like about religion...Its unites people so well.
A religion that agrees with John Kerry and his ilk, is not going to get my unity. The beliefs of the religion need to be treated with intellectual honesty.
This is why so many great thinkers throughout history are Christian. Consider our founding fathers as an example. There has not, to this day, been a better grouping of brilliant thinkers than during the birth of our nation.
