E, I remember the last time we did battle. You said it was ok to battle to the death, even in cyberspace. I disagreed and withdrew. I withdraw, again.

Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by
the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves
to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them
unlimited opportunities for both.

Perhaps, gao, like myself believes these people are people who have twisted the meaning of the word of God to their own selfish and brutal ends. Hence, they are not "religious" in the sense that they are using God's word to justify their own dirty deeds rather than using God's word to lead a better life here on earth for themselves and all men. Hence your insistence that these men are religious when in fact it can seen they are not religious but selfish, brutal, animals could be construed as an attack on God or religion.

Do you feel responsible for the Ukrainian Terror Famine because Stalinists are atheists? And how would you react if someone tried to saddle all atheists with the crime?
