<I expect fundamentalist Islam and all similar movements to be overwhelmed eventually by the innate beauty that exists in the world and to fade eventually too.> Agreed, these 'movements' after all are people... there's nothing special about "religions", people create them based on who they are, culture, history, genetics, etc. All will evolve beyond such crazyness eventually.

Lot of good posts, Mar$! I've been busy and a bit burned out on the subject of God, etc. I received this in email and I thought the thread might like it: The Blind Man One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read: "I am blind, please help." A creative publicist was walking by and stopped to observe. He saw that the blind man had only a few coins in his hat. He dropped in more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign and rewrote it. He returned the sign to the blind man and left. That afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what he had written on it. The publicist responded: "Nothing that was not true. I just wrote the message a little differently." He smiled and went on his way. The new sign read: "Today is Spring and I cannot see it." -------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes we need to change our strategy. If we always do what we've always done, we'll always get what we've always gotten. And remember too, sometimes it's not WHAT we say, it's HOW we say it!! Chinese Proverb: "When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others."
