"I want to see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I want to see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have... excuse me, but we have the truth."
When did our primitive attempts to explain the universe become valid reasons to persecute / kill each other? When did religion give us a license to tell our children to blindly dedicate their lives to our beliefs?
I'm not saying that religion is bad as a whole, but these extremists are either treated as heroes or disavowed but not dealt with in religious sects. I think it's high time for the religions of the world to denounce this obvious brainwashing and perversion of youth and to tell their crazies that they're on their own.
