I worry, however, about the way that the great myth
of religious violence serves to justify
certain kinds of violence: «Those people over there are
crazy religious fanatics; their violence is irrational, absolutist and divisive.
But lawyers and politicians long ago realized they could make a profit, you know, by captivating part
of the mind in
certain people who's minds didn't have good sense, and made them start believe all
kinds of crazy things.
