If Romney gets in which country will America start a war with next?

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

The ability to compartmentalized is a good thing in an individual and you have this capability -- in this case it's a matter of keeping personal religious belief out of the real world.

What I do objective is the "special pleading" with respect to personal religious belief that it must be excluded from criticism and debate. Here, Off Topic we discuss many things, including politics for example: why not philosophical/religious issues?

Let the moderators exclude religion and I will observe that rule; they haven't -- it isn't taboo. If don't want your feelings hurt, stay away from the discussions; don't come in and castigate those participating. As Truman said, "If you can't take heat, get out of the kitchen".

When I was young I often heard advice from my mother and others, "Never discuss religion or politics". Good advice if you aren't ever willing to risk giving offend, (or are selling a used car).

Earlier I suggested that this thread be closed: that suggestion still stands.

You should have listened to your mother before it costs you a friend. In the future, I will be sure to disrespect your beliefs as profoundly as you have disrespected mine.
