Khaled, Very good, I like it. Maybe I'll convert after all.

I say "unfortunately" because their guy just left office and they held full power and sway in this country for eight years, amassed a great deal of wealth while doing so, and have only seemed to fade into the background so they can swoop back in after the current administration takes the heat for their misleadings. Thus their opposition to reason is a scary thing. But what a fundamentalist fundamentally believes in is the saving power of Jesus Christ - and by that I mean, a certain branding, a marketing idea that sells them on the idea of themselves. Shivers. Basing man's salvation on "reason" is their idea of heresy. And I think the people of the world who have to interact with them, form a certain reactionary response that isn't that helpful. They become equally and oppositely anti-reasonable. It's an immutable social law that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Whee!
