We have had questions and debates on this issue before on AB. I thought it might be worth revisiting given a recent article in the Guardian. Some interesting views expressed, from writers with a range of personal beliefs. All of whom are contributors to a forthcoming book "For Gods Sake", which sounds like it might be worth a read.

Have a read, see what you think :)

Interesting comment from one of the contributors;

"terrorism occurs when you combine a sense of military and economic inferiority with a sense of moral superiority. Religion is very good at conferring a sense of moral superiority on its followers."

One thing religion does exceptionally well is give believers the mental tools with which to do the most inhuman things imaginable. In the mind of the believer anything goes if it is sanctioned by a holy text. It doesn't matter how illogical, barbaric or stupid it is – if it's “written” then it's fine and dandy.
