As the results of these cartoons have played out (I have seen them and it would take a particularly perversely sensitive yet aggressive mind to take such extreme offence) I have wondered if a stream of ever more offensive cartoons might create more fervent riots and deaths amongst the faithful?
Ooops, a mite non-pc maybe, but I'd quite like all fervent monotheists to self-immolate and solve the majority of human problems by doing so. Apologies for my biased and perhaps somewhat (re-) vengeful perspective.
Institutional religion is just the actionated creation of the higher brain's functions having to much idle-time. Here is a Google Video link of formerly devout Texas Baptists converting to Islam [best if you have hi-speed connection]:

All people of any faith should be asking themselves: why does my brain make me act this way, and can I mentally rewire it to see my actual reality?
Bob Shaw in Phx,AZ Are Humans Smarter than Yeast?
It's good for me.
(After all, Texas was first to go into decline.)
Oh Lordy, Make Me a Muslim.
TotoNeil, thank you for bringing the word of Allah to this infidel's tongue. Praised be his name and pass the peas. Good video !!!!
BTW, can you recommend any decent discount-burkah shops for after when the SHTF?
To all people who seek truth and faith I would say: why be deluded by others' supposed truth which they clearly use to manipulate you rather than question and seek your own understanding of truth?
I do agree with your comment on brain wiring. We should all strive to understand how we are wired to distort our perception and do our best to correct that so we might begin to see for real.
