So, this could probably be written off as some off the wall stoner thoughts, but I figured I would see what everyone's thoughts were on the subject...
I think its great that America, and the world for that matter, is beginning to break down the whole proverbial wall regarding women and minorities in power/political positions. Just having a black man and a woman running for the presidency is a great statement (not that I back either one of them...).
My question is; When are we going to get past the whole religious barrier? Will there every be a president or group of officials in the world that step up and announce that religion is not needed to govern a body of people? Will that body of people ever come to the reasoning that their beliefs are simply their own personal beliefs and that they dont necessarily make another person's right or wrong?
I've never been huge on the whole religion thing, but I do understand that everyone has their own set of beliefs and that each person has the right to them. I've just always had a hard time understanding how anyone can be so wrapped up in their own system of beliefs that they do not see how damaging it can be to the world around them...
To each his own I guess...
