The lesson of 9/11 is not that there are people in the Middle East that hate us, it is not that terrorists smote the "great Satan" by knocking down the towers, it is not that Islam is a religion of violence (although it is), it is that faith is absolutely anathema to human life.Those who may think his words are too extreme, that "surely you don't really believe that faith is that bad, do you?". . . just look at the damn pictures. It's not that bad. It's worse.
The destruction of the Towers is the result of faith: because without reason and evidence, anything can be justified. It does not matter if you are a christian, muslim, scientologist, marxist, ad nauseum: to the extent to which you operate by faith you are less than human and a great danger to human life and civilized society.

Thanks C.

Civilization will have advanced when the last brick from the last church--or synagogue, or mosque, or other "house of worship"-- falls on the last priest, rabbi, imam, etc.
