Frankly, I don't know why the warring religious trio (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) consider Jerusalem to be a holy place.

With the amount of blood that has been spilt over the place, I consider it to be anything, but holy.

The mess in the middle east is yet more ammo for those like me who think that really, governements should be secular.

Religion and politics just don't mesh very well. Never did. Never will.

The best religious stance a government can take is agnosticism. Try to accomodate as many people as possible as long as their beliefs don't trump over the freedom of others.
