Thanks, Karen. With emphasis on "_any_ religion"... it's just too bad that Harris forgot about the one that holds the only nukes in the Middle East. Well, it looks like a nuclear bomb can not only be built believing in the 77 virgins (as claimed by Harris, although that has yet to be done!) but also while believing that it's NOT OK to eat leavened bread on the afternoon of the 14th day of the 7th month (8th month in leap years) of the ecclesiastical year (Mitzvot #108) while it's perfectly OKAY to eat the same bread in the _morning_ of the same day, and to make a sieve of Palestinians in ambulance cars? Doesn't it make Harris feel a bit unsafe that the guys who believe this hold several hundred nukes and several nuke-launchable submarines with a 4,000 miles range and the world's most silent engines? And btw, did you contrast Harris inflationary mention of "reason" and "critical thinking" with his unreasonable, uncritical belief in the official 9/11 story?
