Hi Everybody,
Here's a quote from Robert Reich's article in the Prospect mag., and I think it nicely points up the divide between us moderns and us religious believers. It should elicit some interesting comments here.

The great conflict of the 21st century will not be between the West
and terrorism. Terrorism is a tactic, not a belief. The true battle
will be between modern civilization and anti-modernists; between
those who believe in the primacy of the individual and those who
believe that human beings owe their allegiance and identity to a
higher authority; between those who give priority to life in this
world and those who believe that human life is mere preparation for
an existence beyond life; between those who believe in science,
reason, and logic and those who believe that truth is revealed
through Scripture and religious dogma. Terrorism will disrupt and
destroy lives. But terrorism itself is not the greatest danger we
face."
