By the way, religon is the root of all evil..Just my opinion.
An often used quote. But just to clarify, Religon is not the root.
Hate is the root of evil. Religon is an often used excuse.
Like skin color or race it makes it easy to identify the poor souls chosen as the enemy du' Joir. For thousands of years despots have used this tactic. They have repeatedly convinced those too lazy or cowardly to stand up for righteous truth, to kill their neighbors.
This thread was to ask the question of using a contemporary hero, who stood for truth and justice, and the American way to help young people relate to Jesus. Isn't it interesting that it quickly became an attack on Christianity and religon?
Wouldn't have happened 50 years ago.
Shame.
