Good point, John. Except groups or individuals who in the past wanted power have used all kinds of "thinking" in order to get power - being religion, ideology, philosophy or what ever means to controle peoples minds or becoming popular among certain groups.This didn't just happen in the past - it's still going on every single day and night.
BTW: It's currently being officially discussed in the Danish judicial system, whether or not the Danish newspaper "Jyllandsposten" will face formal charges, according to the current blasphemy legislation. The subject of this legislation was originally NOT meant to "protect God", but simply to avoid civil disturbances. It's a little late for that, though. (But perhaps some of our multi billion dollar exports may still be restorable :-) Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: John Francis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 16. februar 2006 06:13 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: Religoon, Christ vs. the Other Guy On Wed, Feb 15, 2006 at 06:24:08PM -0800, Gautam Sarup wrote: > On 2/15/06, Mishka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > in fact, religious intolerance has always been limited to > > western christians and islami > > The Hindus too.
