I'm sorry but you need to give your head a shake if you believe the whole world will turn peachy if people stopped believing in gods and deities. Have a big enough group of people in any demographic and you'll end up having lunatics and extremists who will do vile things in the name of whatever cause they believe in. People get shanked at (European) football games just for wearing the opposing home-team's colours for goodness sake.
Getting back on topic before this thread de-rails whenever religion is brought into any conversation on calgarypuck...
It'll be really interesting to see what the younger brother will claim as his motives for his involvement in the bombing. He obviously wasn't as committed as his older brother since he had plenty of opportunities to go down guns a blazin'. I just hope that the harsh reality of his situation finally set into his head as he laid there all alone in that boat.
