That ol' time religion

A Somali politician was excecuted for apostacy this week. He was accused of working with non-Muslim aid workers.

Doesn't hearing that bit of news, kind of make you miss the good ol' days of the early Christian church where people were put to death because they really didn't want to hear what the opposition had to say.

I don't understand why we as human beings believe we need to kill those who disagree with our point of view. And if we don't kill others our job is to destroy the other.

And it wasn't just the Catholic Church. The reformers has a tendency to kill the opposition as well.

While I think Rodney King had some significant personal issues, he asked a very relevant question, after his beatings sparked the LA riots. Why can't we all just get along? Good question, Rodney.
