Default Re: Tolerance, vs. "mutually-exclusive" faiths

@stairwayoflight: Sorry, assumed that you were American.(btw, please quote only the parts you need, it is clearer, and takes less room, can use the @ thing too)
@Mr. Jaggers: Not all religious people hate other religious people, agree with stairwayoflight on this.
@bns: You are right that have a very limited understanding of American politics. Also, i meant earlier that in public, politicians should try to draw arguments from religion. Why? People that happen not to believe in that religion might not follow that reason. It would seem like something that is inherently polarizing. Maybe they can use religious language internally or public if it is obviously meant for the religious, but i think that to the outside people should be able to know what the standpoints are. (and not in a way of having to dig through the website or anything. People do not often do that.) Directly referring to the bible or anything like seems unclear to even if you know the bible, there being so many interpretations and all. (meh i do not think I get my point clear on this, religious statements in politics just put me off alright )
