It really is a crusade

Let me ask just one simple question.

WHAT THE FUCK?

Seriously.

People all over this planet are strangling on the accumulations of bile-soaked hatred and slaughter justified by fundamentalist doctrines (not to ignore the contributions of all those other wonderful things like colonialism, imperialism and incessant meddling from European and american empires and the global neo-liberal nightmare of untrammelled oppression and greed in the name of the holy profit margin).

And the US military machine is humming "Onward Christian Soldiers."

Is anyone in power there even thinking anymore?

I like to think that someday, maybe when they die and confront their God, they will be in for a biiiiiig surprise.

I'm with you on that one.

IMO, one of the big problems with both Christianity and Islam is the idea that "there is only one true God - and it's mine!" - and that this can be used to justify all sorts of horrible things you do to people who don't folow that one and only true God. Judaism (the other major monotheistic religion) doesn't seem to have quite so bad a history in this regard (though some factions of Judaism seem quite determined to catch up to its younger cousins).
