there is no bigger "sin" than (irrational) faith. the author represents a miniscule percentage of people who doesnt have their thoughts imprisioned by some "faith". (be careful.. the faith people may feel disrespected and may come attacking) the sad part is the followers of faith can be cured by another faith only (a relatively better evil). there cannot be a rational solution to faith-related issues. religion means unquestioned faithfulness. it has nothing to do with being "spiritual". every religion is born with one individual drawing the lines.. it is a pity to see people killing and dying for one person's words some thousands of years ago.
These are often repeated excuses for their violent nature. Which society in this world is free of grievances ? Name a place on this earth which has no disgruntlement. In Islam this is know as Al Taqiya . Befuddle , Confuse and disrupt the enemy until you are in a position to overwhelm them.
I wish all humanity thought like this author. Kudos to him. World would be so different. WE would not have to reach airports 2 hours before the departure, our baggage & bodies would not be frisked at each intervention, mankind would become more creative... Faith shall be left priovate and brought on roads.
