Paradoxically, I do find many "religious founders" to be some of the people who have been able to create some sense of hope in this world.<br /><br />I am doing a paper this fall in my US History class on the negative affects of European religion on indigenous peoples of the Americas. I plan to post it here in a couple weeks. Check back for a link.<br /><br />I do, however, disagree with the lack of Muslim/Christian value warring being a part of this current, shall we say, fiasco in the Middle East. While I would not call it an overt religious war, I think it is viewed by much of the world this way... and really most religious wars are simply culture wars and pissing contests.

Who knows the 'best' way to live.<br /><br />But hey, that's just what I think.<br /><br />Enjoyed your comment.Ryan Lee Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483142871305228497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593204.post-1101447696335866672004-11-25T21:41:00.000-08:002004-11-25T21:41:00.000-08:00I wanted to say you got a nice blog going, althoug...I wanted to say you got a nice blog going, although I cant relate to a lot of stuff you put out there because I am neither very religious nor a Christian. In fact, I believe that organized religion has caused much pain and sorrow over the centuries and continues to do so.<br /><br />As for the war on Iraq, please dont analyze this war in a Christian/Muslim context. This war is not just affecting one group of people. All of us are worse of for it.yrautcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727447528292136673noreply@blogger.com
