State Department condemns Iran, China for persecuting religious minorities

[Bretton Garcia]

5. So ...

... outrage about religious persecution, seems based in the prior belief that all or most religion must be good, and therefore, respected.

But suppose we examine that prior supposition.

..

For one thing, in the present case, it is 1) Trump's assistant, a 2) former CIA chief, who is lecturing us on the wonders of religion. Who, as the new 3) head of the State Department, is very close to having a religious war with Iran.

Yes Mr. Pompeo, 4) it does sound strange.

If Mr. Pompeo has a sense of Chrustianity that stresses peace, that could be very positive. But what if he doesn't?
