"He believes he was chosen by God to lead the United States; that he gets advice from God; and that what he does is both inspired and sanctioned by God. He does not accept criticisms of this doctrine."
How is this thought any different from the feelings of the Muslim terrorists? They believe they are doing what thier God asks of them. Even if they are wrong, if they are worshiping the wrong God if there is one, isn't the fact that religion plays a HUGE factor in most all wars a good reason to get it out and keep it out of politics?

The same God different holy books, the point is that each book describes the "god" differently with different morals and different Prophets. I put that there to ward off the common answer of "well it's becuase they worship the wrong god" I wanted to stay on topic.

Some people are so insecure in their beliefs that the only way they can justify them is to enforce them against everyone else. That way, nobody is questioning those beliefs or suggesting anything different, and those people don't have to face their insecurities.
Then there are others who are absolutely fanatical in their beliefs, to the point where the deny the right of anyone to believe differently. These people just seek to impose their beliefs on others because they don't have any respect for differing viewpoints and no tolerance of other religions.
Terrorists and fanatics are part of every religion. And because so many of those people seek to tell others what to do, those people often end up being leaders. Which means the group or nation they lead is now following a fanatic agenda.
It's sad, but it's been that way for thousands of years, and will continue until people take responsibility for their own lives and stop electing fanatics as their leaders.

It's not, your right, why is "under God" in the pledge of allegiance, and why do you put your hand on a bible in court?
That being said your second paragraph simply shows ignorance by saying that Muslims are worshipping the "wrong" God.... Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same God, with different names. Allah, Adonai, and Jehovah/God are the same guy (or girl).

You are right. It is not any different. Its really scary to have a president that thinks that way. Religion has caused so much suffering and bloodshed and it is just backwards to depend on your beliefs in religion to rule a nation and make the right choices. That's sad. I completely agree with you. Where is our separation between church and state?

It will take time, but the idea of our forefathers to completely separate the two might return before the collapse of the Democratic Empire.
