If you walked up on a man beating the life out of a woman on the street, would you sit there and bitch about religion's influence in the beating, or would you pray for strength to kick his butt?

OR....more than likely you would go form a committee to look at the reasons why the man was angry, and what the woman did to cause her to get a beating, then you would get some federal funding to look at the environmental damage the blood was causing in the gutter, then find a trial lawyer to sue both of them for contributing to the environmental disaster they caused....only then to find out that the man was a homo, so then you would have to file a reverse hate crime for the woman's nose beating up on the man's fist....

I am curious as to what you think our terrorism of the world is? Could it be the terrifying prospect of freedom in world autocracies?

<< I dislike organized religions ... >>

You've got to at least admire their business sense. If organized religion started out just selling "air", they wouldn't make any money. They added in a little superstition, witchcraft and the occult, and poof! Their "air" business took off.

<< Our terrorism of the world, their terrorism of the world, lots of terrorism of the world, has roots in the "divine". >>

There is where organized religion went wrong. If they just stayed with selling "air", the earth would be in much better shape.

Very interesting indeed! You are getting close my friend, very close! Many people know not much about history of
man and of course religions. We as Americans think history
of world began over 200 years ago but we slowly are beginning to
understand the underlying force behind the philosophy as
we know it today!
