More than two lines of thought emerge . . .
What seems not to occur to Ms. Bunting in her excellent article is that a "third" line of thought emerges.
That is the global repudiation of "religion" entirely.
Religionists' bases for their "beliefs" rest entirely on myths and irrational (and ancient) tribal hatreds perpetuated in the name of their "God."
To engage in false conflicts ("Your relgion is more violent than mine!") distracts from the fundamental psychosis religion represents for the human race.
It is probably too late to speak out against religionists, now that their fanatical myths and WMDs are as ubiquitous as iPods.
They seem adamant on provoking Armageddon, WWIII, the elimination of Israel, extermination of Infidels, execution of women and gays and lesbians and anybody else who disagrees with their Theocracy -- at any cost.
All we can do is speak the truth about them.
And, perhaps, pray.
