11. We would have no war, no debates?

Sean Penn:
Last year I went to Iraq. Before Team America showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowering meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.

No other religious books are there? None that say my way or death or even tell you how to live?

Your argument is ridiculous at best, disingenuous at worse. People misinterpret books, legal documents the Constitution or the Bill of Rights all the time. I find it silly to say the 1st amendment is sacrosanct while the 2nd is open to interpretation but if there wasn't any Bible we would all agree on it? There would be no war? Would children then dance and have gumdrop smiles?
