Religion was never meant to be dominated by fanatics or conservatives.

Cephus said:

Can't see but can rationally detect. Now do that with any god. Go ahead. Of course, you won't because you can't, you'll just make more excuses, but there is a difference between something that cannot be seen, but does have measurable effects. Your god doesn't. Deal with it.

You have not the language, the logic, or symbols to disprove the existence of deity.

The validation of Science and Religion are different, as you well know.

You know whats wrong with Islam. At one time they where as advanced and progressive as the christian world. They where the first to defeat the Mongolian horde on the battle field, they where at the forefront of mathematics and astronomy. So what happened? They allowed the fanatics and regressive thinkers to take over to the point they are still living in the dark ages. They hate change and violently strike out when challenged or made fun of. They are way too conservative.

Christianity went thru this until the 1700s. The holocaust against females the French Inquisition was a prime example. The church in Rome wanted to crack down on heretics and witchcraft. In France they went after herbal healers, midwives and females in general who where single and sexually active. They burned by the thousands after torture. Satanic Metal singer King Diamond said at least Satanist never burned people at the stake for trying to help people and killing people in his name. The Eye of the Witch was his brilliant album addressing the burning courts.

What happened to push Christians out of this horror and stupidity? The Reformation for one. Instead of just the Orthodox church as Tomes only competition now the Protestant movement helped water down the power of Rome. The second was the fall of the monarchy in most European countries. Religion became what it should have been all along. A brick in the foundation of your faith and not rulers and law makers. Islam never want thru this and that is why they are screwed up and don't have the nerve to call out fanatics and nutjobs.

We can never again allow the wall between church and state come down. We can never let Jesus freaks and sack jobs have so much say. Look how screwed up and backward the bible belt and the south is. Social conservative have the right to think whatever they want but should never get there way on anything involving social issues. It takes a lot of balls for conservative states to ban Sharia law when there own redneck laws are not much better. Remember Jesus could not stand fanatics either. He told the Pharisees to go hide in a closet to pray and spare us all the show.
