What a weird article. He mostly seems to be arguing against the establishment of any religion, including atheism. But toward the end there he says that the problem is that we don't all share the same religion. "the existence of different flavors of theism, by any account of history, provides a justification for hatred and murder. If Iraqis were all christians, millions of them would probably still be alive. The United States would probably not have done to Iraq what it has done over the past two decades. The idea that Iraqis could govern themselves if left free to do so would be far more apparent to many more Americans. The 9-11 attackers would, likewise, not have flown their planes into buildings full of muslims. The entire "global war on terror" would collapse without christianity and islam, and it is encouraged by state christianity." So does he advocate the establishment of a world religion? It would give the UN something to do. -- It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way. -Rollo May _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
