Ohmygod, she's very confused, must have been hit over the head with a jarjarbinks toy whilst away wife swapping, "did she hypnotise you?" "it was so dark-sided" &*?$%£!!

As her kids were horrified of her reaction, she couldn't have passed on her, er, affliction to them, so even if someone is bonkers about religion it doesn't mean they are a 'danger to others.'

I got lumped into a C of E primary school, and the headmaster was totally blase about religion, I still remember his drawing of jesus' sandles sticking out of a cloud (supposed to be ascending or something, just remember the pic, not the why.)
Didn't effect my views on religion = not really bothered myself, but can see the attraction for others. (I've got Babylon 5 and Larry Niven to worship.)

or how about we make everyone Christian
or Muslim
or Buddhist

or just brainless robots that wont offend anyone.

anythink that takes away free will is wrong. everyone decides and should be free to decide their own faith whether it be in secular humanism or Jesus or evolution or little green men from uranus

once you start where do you stop. and who decides. you seem to be quite zealous of this you might want to turn up you nanobots... or meds.

The rest of the world has been suffering at the hands of "covert" US-ops since the end of WW2.

Wonder what the world would have been like if the Japs and the Nazi's had won?

My guess is that after a short period of being forced to perform Nazi Salutes towards pictures of Hitler, and being made* to speak German**, then before too long (sayy 10-20 years) would've burned itself out. possibly sooner. probably from within Germany itself.

*as opposed to wanting to. but doing badly. sorry! ;-)

**this isnt anti-German, cos I like the language, and the people. They did themselves a lot of favours in the World Cup, as hosts.

I think most Germans would agree that they regard themselves as having been "liberated" by the western allies post 1945 to some degree, although they may not feel the same toward the Soviet Union!

Fact is that the tide of aid under the Marshall Plan meant that the Iron Curtain did not extend as far westward as it could easily have done. Moreover, the money from the Marshall Plan set forth the great economic growth which made West Germany a European superpower in the 1970s/80s.
