Then your last sentence just invalidated the validity of the first one.

The "world"? Then you're talking about a universal human problem, rather
than a problem that is 
specific to any one religion. Which again bolsters my statement, that his
assertions are from 
ignorance and petty bias.

Again, his assertions are unsubstantiated. Not to mention hypocritical, in
light of the way that 
he took a socio-political discussion centered around Bush's prayer into a
personal ego battle. 
You should rethink your findings and try to be more balanced.

You tell me.

Take a look at the sum total of your reply here. It was very surface,
superficial. Nothing more 
than a basic "I agree with Moebuis", along with that last insult at the
end. Again, this particular 
thread started when someone posted an article that was full of liberal
nonsense, and I 
challenged the ideas. Then someone else, in a fit of immaturity, showed
that he was unable to 
actually deal with what was posted in the article, and began a personal
attack. Then you 
chimed in and voiced agreement over the aforementioned immaturity, as well
as adding in some 
of your own.

In short, you're like he is - rather than being able to deal with the
actual topic, you chose to take 
the low road.
