    Default Ground Zero Mosque, a case for anti-religion

    I believe that none of this controversy would materialize if there was no religion besides the state. Religion is the opium of the masses.

    So wait? You want no religion, except that of the State. So like if Catholicism/Pope ran Italy or Mexico say, you'd be fine with it?

    Correct, if there was no religion other than the state, people couldn't fight over different religious views, since they would only have one.

    Is that what you asked? If no, go elaborate please.

    Remember that episode of South Park where atheism replaces religion and Dawkins becomes the next jesus? how then, the various atheists are fighting over what they should call atheism?

    that's what'd happen; We'd just find some new shit to fight about, if not religion; hell, gangs in LA fight over a color and what street you were born.

    Or no religion at all. There, you have no illogical thinking about a sky-man and no religious warfare.

    Again; we'd just find something new to fight about; haven't any of you read Marx? the fighting associated with religion isn't caused by opposing ideas or ideas of god, but rather, the lack of material comfort in this life provided by inefficient resource distribution.

    Again, if religion disappeared tomorrow, we'd be fighting over sport's teams and colors and--oh, wait...

    I think the OP wrote except the state, not except THAT OF the state, meaning the state as only authority.

    I think I understand what they meant, although it reminded me of a quote by Mussolini...

    The last part of your post doesn't contain any relevance to the first part of your post.

    We're already fighting over petty things like sports teams, as well as larger issues like race and religion. You might as well try to eliminate the causes of the fighting. There will be people who will find others things to fight about, but, a) there will be less fighting (not all people will resort to other causes) and b) soon they'll run out of "meaningful" things to fight over.

    The state isn't a religion. That's a bizarre idea.

    What the hell are you smoking?

    Indeed, but the word community center just doesn't have the SCARE FACTOR that mosque does, at least not to middle America.

    No. The Ground Zero Mosque debacle is caused by xenophobia, not anti-religion.

    You seem like a bit of a troll considering the other thread you've started. This reeks of a subtle right-libertarian accusation that we "statists" worship the state.
