How do Mormons feel about their religion taking a racist statement out of the Book of Mormon?
A question from a reader: If it was originally written that way by Joseph Smith, why would you change it? Don’t you still believe that black people are bad spirit children who didn’t help fight against Satan? Are you not thankful that you are “white and delightful”? (according to the first edition as penned by Joseph himself)
Fault Lines – Religion in the military – 25 June 09- Pt2
New video:
The United States is a deeply religious country, over 90% believe in god and 80% believe in miracles. For the US military, dealing with its own religious identity has become an internal battle. Growing evidence points towards a rising influence of evangelical Christianity, and with two wars still raging in Muslim countries with significant religious overtones, there could be serious consequences for the US mission. Pentagon officials say incidents are isolated, aberrations occur, but others closely tied to the military and its religious leadership say a transformation is taking place with dire costs. On this weeks episode of Fault Lines, we look at the battle over the religious soul of the US military. Also, we sit down with Brent Scowcroft, the National Security Advisor under Presidents Ford and George HW Bush. He gives Fault Lines a fresh take on the issue of religion in the military and how it is impacting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

En España se le conoce por su Guía políticamente incorrecta del islam. Para Spencer, el cristianismo es una religión de paz, mientras que la violencia es inherente al islam. Eso no significa que todos los musulmanes sean violentos, sino que la religión islámica permite sostener vías de acción violenta que repugnarían al cristianismo. Ahí están, por ejemplo, las cuestiones del martirio homicida, la apostasía penada con la muerte, la ley del talión, la yihad ofensiva, la esclavitud, la violencia contra la mujer o el antisemitismo. El autor no es sistemático, pero apunta cuatro razones por las que la violencia es más predominante y difícil de erradicar en el islam de lo que lo ha sido jamás en el cristianismo. Por un lado está el carácter ejemplar de Mahoma, un general que conquistó territorios, organizó batallas, asesinó enemigos, tomó esclavos y rapiñó botines. Por otro, la consideración del Corán como libro “descendido”, dictado literalmente por Dios, dificulta una interpretación espiritual de las suras más violentas. Desde otra perspectiva, la tendencia totalitaria intrínseca al islam hace casi impracticable la separación entre el poder civil y el religioso, con la consiguiente confusión legal e institucional en la …
