George Bush has many intellectual shortcomings, but his utter lack of ironic awareness stood out in his interview with Bob Costas at the Olympics recently. When asked about human rights in China, GWB emphasized religious freedom. He said that once religion takes hold in a society it can't be stopped. Is that supposed to be a GOOD thing? There can be no doubt that a theocracy in America is what Bush and the religious right would prefer, at long as it's Christianity that is taking over.
Can it be that George doesn't see the downside of religion taking over in Afghanistan? Saudi Arabia? Iran? Oh, ok, that's Islam. Does he recall the horrors that afflicted humanity when Christianity was the law of the land in Europe? The repression, the slaughter?
For those of us that would rather live in a secular society of free thought and reason, the tyranny of Christianity is no different than the tyranny of Islam or any other religion.
