Obviously, the greater the insecurity, the more belligerent one becomes to protect that which placates his/her insecurity. It's the very basis of fundamentalism—that includes Christian evangelicals, of course. Great toon!

I meant to praise first but wasn't quite awake yet and too eager to get in my own two cents. I'd buy the bumper sticker (is there one?), except around here you can get a bullet through the windshield for such things. And who knows, I might be behind the wheel. Believe me, there is no confusion on your part. My own children chide me for being absent - minded. What would we get up in the morning for without "Jesus and Mo"? And what's that next one of yours? "should rings alarm bells"? we talk like that around here all the times. Tie, I am truly sorry to have skewed Dawkins without acknowledging your

I can assure you it is NOT a victimless crime in this sense, tie: countless thousands have been executed in the name of True Belief. And there will be, and is now, much more blood to come.

It's a 'yo mama' problem. It's fundamentally human, but very very low on the evolutionary chart somehow. Killing someone for offending anyone -- your mama, your God, whatever -- is just nuts. It's like legitimized insanity! How do people rationalize it? Do they say, Okay, now I'm crazy, now I will kill you for saying something that offends me? I mean, wha????? It's like abandoning your mind and wallowing in your insanity. What might be a good idea is to kill oneself if someone offends your god. Now THAT might actually keep people from saying offensive things. Imagine that? The concept of blasphemy is a huge problem. It’s a ‘yo mama’ problem.
