Religion and Violence
The fundamentalist Christo-Fascists argue that onc can not have morality without religion. However, one could also argue that that the least violent societies today are the most irreligious, or even agnostic democracies of Western Europe (you could throw in Japan too). In fact, the most violent societies today are those that are also the most fundamentalist in their religious beliefs and practices. The Bush legacy, and that of his moralistic fundamentalist evangelical, Christo-Fascist supporters, will be one of violence and death, and a loss of whatever moral authority America might have attained in the 200 plus years before his abysmal presidency.
Although the essential message of Christianity may be one of peace and love, Bush and his followers long ago lost sight of this goal.
