Very scary, indeed.

This brings up a more sensitive and prosaic question: the role of fundamentalist religions in society. There has been a recent affront on muslims and Islam following the events of 9/11, but if we look deeper into other cultures and the growing trend of religious fanaticism and correlate this phenomenon with globalization and an inability to adapt to modernity, a disturbing trend may be emerging in the foreseeable future.

Chrisitian fundamentalism, Islamic fundamentalism, Jewish fundamentalism, and Hindu fundamentalism are all the same flavor of nut but with a different package. There are many reasons why our form of governance has survived and prospered. I suspect secularism is one of the many reasons. So when I see this current Bush administration trying to mingle Government with God, this just scares the beejesus out of me.
