Quote of the Day
The notion of an overarching, purely secular society is a good and powerful one. It means that you can exercise your beliefs in your home, your church, your community, yet work together productively at other times, in other places, with those who hold different religious beliefs -- or even none at all.
A principal trouble with our culture at this minute is that so many individuals think they have a right to impose their beliefs on others by force. Moslems often believe it, but so do creatures like George Bush. It is my sincere hope that people will learn to keep their religion in their pants and relate to one another in benevolant and amiable ways.
If we can't -- imagine the Spanish Inquisition armed with hydrogen bombs -- it'll be the end of us all.
