By High Office I mean presidents, prime minister and cabinet post of high rank, with the emphasis on those who have access to policy tools that could seriously set back human progress, think nukes etc.

No.

Yes because they are either crazy or lying; but then again you already knew I was going to say that.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Please expand on your view; I'm genuinely interested.

I refer you to the many religion bashing thread I have partaken in her on languish.

I'm a bit curious what the *special* Jaron option is.  :hmm:
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

It's the "There is no God but God and Jaron is his Prophet" option.

I voted no but I really meant to vote yes if I had complete unfettered discretion as to who should be banned - ie having just one vote doesnt seem enough sometimes.

Soo.. ban all members of eschatological religions other than my own?

Religion shouldn't matter so long as the person is white and monolingually English.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You dont pay much attention do you?  I dont have one.  But I do defend those who do from some of your rants.

No, but I'd never want one in office.

Is there a religion that doesn't have Eschatological Views? :unsure:

I voted no, because I don't believe in limiting for the sake of limiting. Individuals, not groups, are what's important to me. Being a member of a religion or group doesn't necessarily follow that that person is insane about how they follow the edicts of said group or religion.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Most of modern history has had said individuals in charge.
