Thre are at least a couple of hundred thousand people working anonymously around the glob right now, this moment, fom religious organizations, religious affilitated organizations, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, of all sects and denominations.
One guy is crazy, conecting his religious beliefs with his insane actions....and that negates all the hard work of the religious? Or a less then 1-2% representation of a given relgious body takes violent action in the world, and that negates the millions upon millions of other people actually following the doctrines?
I'm not saying we should be religious, hell, I'm not. I'm saying that to condemn religion based on this guy, and others like him, is not fair to the good work done by religion in the world. It is in my not so humble opinion a very narrow view.
