"Doug Kanter" wrote in message news:dyNHf.14469 Some religions are non-intrusive. Some are very intrusive. Their followers believe everyone should see things their way. Can you name one or two examples of each? I can, but I won't -- partly because you have defined the problem quite vaguely [most religions believe they've got it right, some proselytize extensively, a few claim theirs is the only correct answer, and one (that I'm aware of) insists that they're right and everyone else must die.], but mostly because your posit has naught to do with the issue. Please explain to me how this country would have become a theocracy without certain unspecified checks and balances in place. You might explain the unspecified checks and balances, too. |

Simple: It is an established fact that some candidates receive enormous support from the Christian extreme right, and that they expect these candidates to push for certain types of laws which feed only their beliefs. Without the other two branches of government in place, we would be a Christian theocracy, just as Iran is an Islamic theocracy. |

Simple: It is an established fact that some candidates receive enormous support from underground white supremecists, and that they expect these candidates to push for certain types of laws which feed only their beliefs. Without the other two branches of government in place, we would be an oppressive militarist dictatorship, just as Iraq was under Saddam. Jesus, Doug, you used to be better than this. What happened? And now, recognizing that I have allowed myself to be drawn in to a political, non-boating discussion, I withdraw, with abject apologies to the rest of rec.boats. Mea Culpa. |

The other two "influences" you describe have nothing to do with religion. Don't create detours until you've finished the first trip. |
