ZZZZZ…

Broccoli-shaped religious figure demonstrates once again why fewer and fewer people care what broccoli-shaped religious figures think about anything at all:

Wrong understanding of religion and God was often the cause of terrorism and religious fanaticism, archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Willaims observed in Thiruvananthapuram today.

Sigh.

There were some who think that God required us all the time defending him and the faith. God need not require us to defend him, the visting head of the Church of England said during an interaction with students of the Kerala United Theological Seminary here.

What is important is to try to understand “the infinity, inexhaustibility and mystery of God”, which will lead to a meaningul understanding of the faith, the supreme leader of the Anglican Communion said.

SIGH!! I’m sure Al-Qaeda will get right on that, my lord archbishop.

Stating that he did not think that universal military action against terrorism would solve the problem, he said trying to understand why some people were driven to “dreadful and evil actions” would help addressing the problem of terrorism.

Spoken like a true academic. We shouldn’t try to defend ourselves against people who want to kill us. We should try to understand why people who want to kill us want to kill us and that will help solve the problem.

Might cost us a few thousand corpses here and there but if you want to make an omelette, as they say.

I can explain things for you right away, Dr. Williams. A bunch of people would like to impose their religion on the entire world and are entirely willing to kill large numbers of innocent people in order to do that.

You’re welcome. Now please stop saying things.
