Another's Religion

“We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.”

-- H. L. Mencken

We certainly should not bow down to another's religion to the extent that we allow him to dictate how to dress our wives or what we can write without being blasphemous, nor should we conform our science to their ancient texts, nor limit our reproductive rights by their lights, and on and on.

Got this quote from the Andrew Sullivan blog.

Hmmm....I feel really stupid now because I have no clue what your talking about. basicly, I don't get politics. my brother is a libertarian, he'd more then likily understand that.
as for the quote, it certainly makes me wonder about myself, being a human service magor I wonder if I really just want to rule the world after all. ;)
(that was meant to be funny)
what are you magoring in that you would write your thesis on that? It sounds really deep and political. as well as being timely...I've heard about, though don't fully grasp the concepts, of what your talking about.

so...basicly your thesis would be a philosophical approach to a modren goverment issue? that sounds intresting.
Philosophy is very intresting. I don't read as much of it as I should. considering pshycology is a mix of Philosophy and science.
I'm so not looking forward to having to do a thesis. but seeing as I'm still working on my AS I have a while still to worry about it.
