Yeah because the Kenya Tanzania bombings were just a nuicance, as was the first Trade Centre Bombing and the USS Cole.

You will love to hear I´m not a democrat. I´m not bringing Osama up either, I´m just speculating on logical questions.
Besides, why should Clinton have gone hunting for Osama? I know, we all like to hunt down terrorists from time to time, but the real big thing was 9/11, that´s when the U.S. had a really, really definite reason to go looking for him, no? From what I´ve heard, Clinton was also busy dealing with the Israel, like all U.S. Presidents before and after him.
Nah, say what you want, it was Bush´s fucking duty to get rid of this bastard. And he didn´t.

I have never said that was a nuisance. I talked about the "real big thing". I could ask you why Bush didn´t go hunting for Osama before of 9/11, when he was already in office.

Well you may or may not be democrat, green party, we the people party or maybe your own one-person party, but you obviously share their anti-Bush sentiment, so I'll just lump you in with them for the sake of my own convenience.

Thanks, that says it all. I didn´t read the rest of your post.
If you can´t control your emotions enough to argue with a certain minimal level of respect, I have absolutely no reason to waste my time with you.

Fine, theofascist will do fine, I got called a Nazi because I used the more neutral and vague terminology in relation to the school of thought that Al Qaeda stems from and people got rather mixed up so I may as I said then I may as well go to the fullest extent as to distinguish between religion and a politically opressive system.[/B]
P.S. You seem to be snarky and Iota is acting like a dick. [/B]

Here, our founding idea is that all men are created equal
America itself was actually founded on Judeo-Christian principals.

but that is just empty words or flat out lies that school children learn and repeat without giving any thought
explain the part about slavery and murder and stealing from the American Indians being Christian principles
it is high time you do some independent thinking

It wasn't intended as a perfect theocracy.

Christianity is NOT a theocracy, it never was, no matter how much the fundamentalists would like you to believe that or how much the Vatican tried to interfere in the middle ages.
Now Judaism IS and ever shall be a theocracy.
paxetaurora said:I'm (genuinely) confused...theocracy is a term referring to a government, not a religion. Christianity certainly is a theocracy, in that God is ultimately in charge. Just like Judaism, Islam, and other faiths that recognize a higher power or powers.
How is Christianity not a theocracy?
And since Judaism is not a political system but rather a faith, how is it a theocracy?
anitram said:Contrast that with the Jews, who believed (a belief they actually share with the Muslims) that the polytheist must be defeated wherever he exists.
anitram said:In the recent past, you have had fundamentalist factions of Christianity try and impose their views on the various states where they live. Historically, they are way off base, and practicing a form of religion that the early Christians actively rejected.
