Don't shoot doggies! That's what I say. Life after death doesn't mean nobody died.

No minarets in Switzerland? How shameful. Let's count all the christian churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia again please.

When you get there to take the census on them, be sure to inform their State Department as to what you are there for!

It's so, but look at the Vatican complain about Christians in India while lobbying for the denying of Hindu temples and Diwali parades in Rome. (usually at the last minute to be sure to waste a lot of planning, in the latter case.)

How about the Eastern Orthodox fighting tooth and nail to keep Greeks' worship of their ancestral Gods *criminalized?* (Yes, actually criminalized. Really.) Or in the former Soviet Union, come to think of it, taking their newfound 'religious freedom' and trying to use it to finish what the Commies started to even-more-aggressively try to obliterate all that Finno-Ugric samanism...

Or some folks in Afghanistan descended of Alexander's armies who may actually be best off not mentioned...

Does anyone know of the massacre of 'animists' (by 'both sides') in the Sudan we otherwise heard so much about? (Hint. A third of the population of Darfur.)

The Roma people in 'former Yugoslavia?'

Forget about aboriginal peoples, from the Amazon to Wisconsin to Java... (Right?)

Or... How about the Pentecostal 'witch hunts' in Africa that are both denied and then reimported into churches like Sarah Palin's?

There some moral superiority here that I haven't detected?
