I have introduced a number of my colleagues at work to her since this. Thanks again.

No offense taken. at all.

Yeah, I think you're right. Cusack wouldn't look right holding up an iPod dock, would he?!

Thank you for these. They are wonderful!

I was reminded of this conversation as I read this article on Mitt Romney and the his faith: http://go.bloomberg.com/political-economy/2012-04-19/romney-...

I think religion is going to play a major role in the upcoming US Presidential election. I wish it wouldn't.

You'd have to use this one http://i.imgur.com/1XheN.jpg it was pretty big.

I've never heard her play before. Thank you for introducing me, it's unbelievable.

Thank you for the response, I appreciate you taking the time to write this. Let me send you my condolences for having endured such an attack. You hope that "society remains clever enough to understand the distinction", is a noble hope.

It's an unusual thing to grasp that the french people want to keep religion something that is separated from the state completely. Does this include christians too? The reason I say it's unusual to grasp is that in the US the people that want to unify church and state tend to be the christians. And we have many of them here. They want religion included in schools but when asked about including other faiths: Muslim, Hindu etc they are opposed.

Personally, I've had it up to my ears with religion. I'm tired of it and wish it would either go away or stay "at home" as you put it.

I never took the ACT, just the SAT and that was plenty enough for me.

I am aware of French Colonialism in the Muslim world, just as I am aware of American Imperialism there. My question was in response to this statement regarding french law ...."protecting individuals and groups from being defamed or insulted because they belong or do not belong, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion,". I posed the question in light of the recent terrorist attack in france: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/24/us-france-shooting...

I'm not sure what you were referring to as what I "think is happening"? I'm aware of the history. I'm also aware that in response to such terrorist attacks western nations tend to abandon their tolerance of the associated religions, regardless of how loose the association may be.

These are beautiful. Very clever.

bummer. it had me fooled.

I'm not sure how you could read the creation story and not see it as a metaphor? People that see it as being literal are the ones yelling "Drill, Baby, Drill".

Do you think the french people are going to remain tolerant of religious freedom in the face of radical muslim extremists terrorizing them?

I wish I hand't read these. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I don't want to know these horrible people exist.
