Faith and Fanaticism

Unless we finally stop branding one another as pagans or infidels and as heathens or barbarians, we shall continue to imperil ourselves day in and day out, with genocidal bloodshed; for there are many around us who seek to ruthlessly decimate those they see as not among them while they preach and proclaim universal love and world peace, what monumental irony! indeed, we don't normally do evil with as much glee, thoroughness and fiery enthusiasm as when we do it out of religious zeal that brooks no mildest criticism, murderous fanaticism!
