Faith In America

If you missed Sunday's edition of Meet the Press, click here to watch it. It's excellent.

It addresses many issues concerning the state of faith in our country today, particularly the hypocrisy that exists with many ideas put forward by religious extremists in our society, among other things.

My take was that religious extremists have a tendency to use very shortsighted and narrow minded views of religion, weather it be Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc, to further their cause, while leaving out the things that don’t fit their views.

In other words, religious extremists tend to focus on a very small part of religion and faith in order to further their cause, as opposed to focusing on religion and faith as a whole.
