&quot;Another important difference: Scientists don’t go around blowing themselves up on crowded buses.&quot;

Er .. in fairness though wasn&#039;t it science that came up with the bomb -incl. the A-bomb?

A cheap shot at Islam from I&#039;m guessing an American who knows nothing but what their own bigoted, Islamophobic Jewish-owned media tells them is neither clever, surpirsing nor funny.

Maybe a bit of deeper thought on what the Palestineans, Iraqis&#039; &amp; others must be going through &amp; how desperate and, yes, courageous they must really be would be more productive &amp; more enlightening than the usual Arab-bashing. Just a thought eh ..?

There are good reasons why suicide bombers do what they do. NOT that it justifies them - to us - but it sure justifies it for *them.*

Understand this and then we can be better placed to prevent them - by tackling the root causes rather than just the symptoms ..Untoil we do that - there can&#039;t be any peace. :-(</description>

		<description>Personally I believe these clerics need to.

A.  Start smoking dope, Drinking Boones Farm and listening to Alice&#039;s Restaurant.

or

B. Stop smoking dope, Drinking Boones Farm and listening to Alice&#039;s Restaurant.

What ever works.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Put two Fundamentalist Christians of differing opinions together, and don’t be surprised if they start pulling out Hebrew and Greek reference books.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;d be surprised.  Most FC&#039;s I&#039;ve met haven&#039;t even read the Bible.</description>

		<description>I know. My point was to give a couple of quick references that answer your question without bogging down BA&#039;s blog in a long theological discussion.

Short answer is that there are central beliefs held in common. Once you get beyond that things are not as clear. Fundamentalist Christianity is one huge tent. Put two Fundamentalist Christians of differing opinions together, and don&#039;t be surprised if they start pulling out Hebrew and Greek reference books.</description>

		<description>KC, my point was not actually a request for references - I was referring to the fact that, because religious faith is so subjective, the fundamentals of faith will be too.  So the fundamentals will be different for different people.  After all, what is most important to you may not be so important to others.</description>
