Mind you, A Roman Catholic one, so you can probably pray for my heretical soul as well. And, no, Atheism doesn't require faith, any more than you have faith that there is no Flying Spagghetti Monster. Andy, I happen to be a Christian.

You have to have FAITH that there is no God. I love you all and i have just prayed to the just and Holy God that you might be called by grace to the truth of Jesus....... just like I have to pray to God every day that I might be able to see that he truely has saved me.

They don't justify "police-state powers or leader worshhip that would make a Stalinist proud", but as there isn't any of that going on, its not an interesting line of argument. I am deeply opposed to President Bush and his government's methods in the so-called War on Terror. But I see no reason to make inaccurate comparisons between Bush and the mass murdering dicators of an earlier age.

After all, Bush has "claimed" that Muslim thugs in Russia shot scholchildren in the back. He has "claimed" that Muslim thugs have beheaded journalists and contractors. He has "claimed" that Al Quaeda has published manifestoes of their intent to conquer the world for Islam. He has "claimed" that the leader of a powerful Muslim state has denied the Holocaust and wants to kill all Jews and infidels. He has "claimed" that Muslim bombers have blown to bits Christians, Jews, and mostly other Muslims in Bombay, in Moscow, in Chechnya, in the Phillipines, in London, in Madrid, in Bali, in Israel. Worst of all, Bush has "claimed" that Muslim thugs crashed packed airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, incinerating thousands of innocents. Let's all just take a deep breath, recall the lessons of 1930's Germany and the Reichstag, and stop all this hysterical wailing. Face it Philip- Ipetrich has got you beat.

They claimed that the Reichstag fire was proof that the Communists were on the march and that they must be stopped at whatever the cost. And they started World War II with the claim that it was Poland that attacked them. They even created some fake border incidents on the German-Polish border like at Gleiwitz, complete with fake radio broadcasts about how Poles should fight Germans.

Go find any veteran of Okinawa and ask him if he thinks Hiroshima was "disproportionate and inappropriate."
