That may be all well and good but as much as people don't want to say it out loud, this is a Holy war of people of a religion who want to destroy and or kill us. Jihad ( Holy war) has been decalared on us. How can we keep religion out of politics any easier than we can keep war out of politics.

Yes, religion/politics, war/politics, religion/war, etc. have merged — all to the detriment of humanity. We can all speculate about it, write about, report about it....but we don't have to fan the flames by insisting that "our" God is the only true God, that there is only one God, that "our" religion is superior to another, etc. That's what I mean by separating religion and politics.

Religion and politics have merged time after time in history.

So, we are to not honor our God as our God because others do not like it? I care more what God thinks than what the "others" think about it. Are we to deny God His place of honor in our lives to please those that deny Him?

Something seems wrong with asking God to not be treated as God so that the unbelievers will be happy.
