    Original story

    Um, wait, these are supposed to be the good guys, right? These are the moderates rather than the fundamentalists, right? :confused:

    I just like their name, Morality Police. Interesting article, although I bet they all feel like kids in an American Elementary school.

    Morality Police is a retarded idea. The whole points of morals are that they are a rule you impose upon yourself - if you don't want to follow it, you don't.

    Do they punish people who are of a different religion (who don't follow the same 'religious guidelines' they do)?

    The moderates lost the last election to the fundamentalists. They have learned an important political lesson: give the voters what they want.

    The voters are now also learning an important political lesson: you get what you vote for.

    Hah, "morality police"? It almost sounds like a joke. Almost.

    Ah, the stupidity of a religious mind. There's a huge hole in that statement but someone who should be relatively intelligent, can make it without realising so. Religion sure does allow people to tidy parts of their mind into a box where stupidity reigns and logic has never been heard of.

    Religion is a psychological crutch for people who can't deal with reality.

    (And reality is a crutch for people who can't deal with science fiction. :D )

    Hmm, intriguing thought. Just a guess that you're not part of my boyfriend's fantasy though. ;P
