With all the killing, threats, terrorist murders promised virgins and paradise for killing, fights and posturing over holy rocks, mountains, temples built by the long dead, prayers to meteors from the sky and monuments, or other "holy" relics, one might become cynical about religion and its practioners. Perhaps the modern, well published anti-theists, Dawkins and Hitchens, have the cynical part correct. One hopes it is the wacko view of what is "holy" that strays from the "higher" moral worth and meaning of life and not some deeper and dark meaning. Perhaps it is only ignorance that continues to worship meterors as some intergalactic cargo cult and the ticket to paradise via ball bearings and nails in destructive vests tailored by barbarians, that we need to fear. If so, we can hope reason and intellect will win out. Sadly, it seems almost as likely that the mass mind of humanity is darker than we realize.
