And of course, now that you've defined "sane" I agree with you. It's the old story of people trying to make a relative perspective absolute. Putting the earth at the center of the solar system and then concocting bizarre theories to explain the movements of the planets. And I think the points you've outlined reveal a sadistic streak in those who aggrandize their egos by believing that they alone have the truth. They get some kind of sick pleasure by envisioning everyone else being subjected to eternal torture. They would probably enjoy administering it themselves if they had the chance. Extreme fundamentalists do just that, by blowing up innocent people (as George Bush does) or refusing to pardon those condemned to death (as he did in record numbers as Governor of Texas).
