Subject: when god goes to war
Today, we need religious
people to be proactive in reforming their own traditions away from extremism.
It is not enough simply to condemn other people's violence. We need bishops,
rabbis and imams to search for the seeds of aggression in their own
scriptures, admit that their own faith has a history of hatred, and revise
bigoted, self-serving textbooks.

Surely they can't be talking about our scriptures? Hatred,
bigotry, violence? Never!
