   There is no worse place for a person of faith than a theocracy, even (sometimes especially) for believers in the official state religion. (Not to say that nonbelievers are safer, of course.)

   It *baffles* me that my fellow Catholics don't get this. Did we just *forget* about Joan of Arc?

   Well, it's not *that* baffling. Much Catholic media (EWTN, Catholic Answers, etc.) is fox news with smells and bells, and has been for a long time. You Are Not Immune To Propaganda and all that.

     If you are: atheist*, Muslim, Jewish, Unitarian, Buddhist*, Rastafari*, Hindu, Sikh, Wicca, agnostic*...

     Or? to a lesser extent Mormon, Catholic or otherwise not WEP. (Black Baptists take note! especially my PNBCs)

     YOU are in a "religious minority" If this country keeps moving right eventually you will be targeted.

     Only together are we NOT a minority.

     *recognize some of ya'll do not describe your belief as religion-- makes sense. But in this context it simply will not matter to them.
