The usual suspects have reared their heads, replacing most "flavor of the week" issues: economy, abortion, gays, and general election coverage.

Yep, I heard. We're inching our way there.

And yes, abortion is always a perpetual topic in this country. Especially with certain states periodically attempting to ban it entirely.

We need to worry less about fundamentalists elsewhere and start worrying more about the fundamentalists in our own country who appear bent on destroying our country and our way of life.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

Christians always need a boogeyman.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Why's that?

Don't you think secular people have boogeymen as well? Ya'know, like, communism?

Oh, sure, but there's something about Christians that they always need to believe that someone is trying to bring them down or destroy their way of life. Sure, the lady mentions how Muslims in Lebanon are killing Christians, but to declare all Muslims are trying to bring down America, which I'm sure she believes to be a Christian nation, is just her persecution complex and bigotry combined. The fact is extremists who happen to be Muslims, not Muslims in general are trying to bring us down.

Oh someone actually watched at least part of the video Big Grin my hat goes off to you.

I think that Christians have to believe that someone is trying to bring them down because it creates a sense of cohesion in their group, solidifying them, in the face of their illogical beliefs. This is the same reason why they have fellowship, the fellowship of believers to "support each other in their faith" because without the support I have a nasty feeling their belief with discintegrate (spelling?) in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Now, for a nation, there is also a need for cohesion, yes? This is why patriotism exists I think. This is why the government/media paints our enemies in such stark, extreme, evil colors, to make us as a nation bond together against whoever we are fighting against. Demonization of another country.

Which is exactly why for that reason the UK are trying (emphasis on trying) to deport radical clerics like Abu Qatada.

If they pose a threat to national security, no ifs, no buts, they have to go.
