Reply #14: Authors keep rediscovering the constellation of fundamentalist pathologies...

but it never sticks in the public's mind. I wonder why? :sarcasm:

How many times do these people get a chance to murder, enslave, and torment people with their pathetic shtick before we wise up? Time has just about run out for America and the planet thanks to these death-worshiping hypocrites.

I think, at minimum, to survive we will somehow need to pass a version of "secularization" like the Europeans have - NO tax breaks or legal breaks AT ALL for religions. Treat them like businesses. Same laws, same everything.

We might further consider banning fundamentalism, the same way the Germans have banned Nazism. The Germans have laws about Nazi paraphenalia. It would be difficult to separate fundamentalism from Christianity, but I think we might find a few decidedly anti-Christian features at the core which we could ban. Like advocacy of murder and torture, for instance.

I just keep hitting this note. It seems to be my vocation.
