I guess another Theistic position that gets under my skin is that of the radical followers of Islam who believe that it is their job to bring holiness to the world by wiping out the Great Satan of America. That is a dangerous Theistic position because it is based on false teaching.

Isn't that interesting. Bush calls them the axis of evil so now we have "evil against evil" while the RC is calling for peace but will probably get the blame when its all over.

Hey, what do you know - we agree on this 100%!!!!

However, I would add that another Theistic position that gets under my skin is that of the radical followers of Christianity who believe that it is their job to bring holiness to the world by wiping out the evil of Islam. That is a dangerous Theistic position because it is based on false teaching.

Both thinks that the other is evil and based on "false teaching".

I would submit that they are both right, about the other, but both wrong about themselves. It's just that neither side sees that *they* are just as EVIL (TM) and false as their perceived enemy.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Actually, I see it as my gain!

Now it's off to find one of those stickers of Calvin pissing on the Ford/Chevy/some other NASCAR number/etc. and modify it to add the Vatican!
