Let's Bring an End to "organized relgion" as a political tool...

I like to think that what is currently happening between Islamic radicals and evangelical extremists is simply the prophetic fulfillment of those particular ideologies...with one exception: neither side wins. Oh, they both may have their wishes fulfilled and generate world-wide death and destruction, but in no way will this result in the attainment of paradise for the muslims, or the intercession of the rapture for the christians. The world will simply heal itself from the castrophic effects of the "holy war", eventually shifting away from the paradigm of a religious ideology and a benvolent creator to one of naturalistic harmony with everyone and everything...realizing that it is indeed all connected.
