suseonline, "I have no problems with the comfort that believing in these gods brings to their followers, but I do have a problem with involving any religion or god with politics, in our increasingly secular society"

Nonsense, you routinely launch vicious diatribes mocking and trashing Christian churches and their congregations. However, Islam is different somehow. The Far Left and feminists do not criticise Muslim political lobbying funded by government out of taxpayers' $$ and with a direct line to the Minister of the day. They get the large foot in the door under Labor.

You would support Muslim demands for women only bathing at public pools and beaches, amendment of traffic regulations to allow restrictive garb that hinders vision and identification and so on.

However you would be vehemently opposed to John Howard's definition of the Australian secular State that recognises the significant place that Christianity has in Australian culture and traditions.

Howard's secular State with sensitivity to our inherited, valuable cultural traditions bears much in common with the social consensus on religion that seems to apply in The Simpsons. Australians would be less religious than many Americans are said to be though.

I find a lot of humour in religion. There is a lot of enduring good in the Christian congregations and most church leaders. Fortunately the Christians generally have a good sense of humour and the capacity for self-criticism - which are lacking in the whining authoritarian Left and censorious feminists.

Tolerance.

http://raniakhalek.com/2013/03/20/u-s-turns-a-blind-eye-to-iraqi-birth-defects-worse-than-hiroshima/

Al Jazeera’s Dahr Jamail reports that contamination from U.S. weapons, particularly Depleted Uranium (DU) munitions, has led to an Iraqi health crisis of epic proportions.

“[C]hildren being born with two heads, children born with only one eye, multiple tumours, disfiguring facial and body deformities, and complex nervous system problems,” are just some of the congenital birth defects being linked to military-related pollution.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/30/faulluja-birth-defects-iraq

today, 14.7 percent of Fallujah’s babies are born with a birth defect, 14 times the documented rate in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Fallujah’s babies have also experienced heart defects 13 times the European rate and nervous system defects 33 times that of Europe.

That comes on top of a 12-fold rise in childhood cancer rates since 2004. Furthermore, the male-to-female birth ratio is now 86 boys for every 100 girls, indicating genetic damage that affects males more than females.

According to a study published in the Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, a professional journal based in the southwestern German city of Heidelberg, there was a sevenfold increase in the number of birth defects in Basra between 1994 and 2003.

Official Iraqi government statistics show that, prior to the outbreak of the First Gulf War in 1991, the rate of cancer cases in Iraq was 40 out of 100,000 people.

By 1995, it had increased to 800 out of 100,000 people, and,

by 2005, it had doubled to at least 1,600 out of 100,000 people. Current estimates show the increasing trend continuing.

As Grist’s Susie Cagle points out,..
http://grist.org/news/thanks-for-the-oil-iraq-heres-some-cancer/

“That’s potentially a more than 4,000 percent increase
in the cancer rate,..making it more than 500 percent higher than the cancer rate..in the U.S.“
