Entry: I Confess: I Don't Understand Why Some Atheists Are So Angry Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/i_confess_i_dont_understand_why_some_atheists_are_so_angry#25961 Post contents: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do." -Samuel Huntington, Harvard Professor, "The Clash of Civilizations" I am an atheist, or at best a very skeptical agnostic. And some times I hate religion. Not religion per se, but when its used for political purposes. Like the hypocrisy in US political campaigns or when zionists claim the god given rights from a god they don’t believe in. Everyone with more than rudimentary knowledge in European history knows how religion has caused a lot of conflicts and suffering through the centuries. Most of the first emigrants to US left Europe because of religious persecution . Still today you find religious fundamentalists in the vortex of conflicts, and I see no difference in complicity whether they are hiding in Tora Bora, harassing and killing Palestinian children in Hebron or planning new wars in the White House. The precondition for peace in ME is to remove religion from politic, and politics from religion. Matt. 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you Sent at: 2008 07 06
