One Supreme Being ----> Three Murderous Religions? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_and_Assyrian_religion The latest round of killing games now in process in the Middle East lends a good deal of support to the Babylonian thesis -- that we cannot have a supremely good and all-powerful god who is not also responsible for evil - moral as well as natural -- the theodicy trilemma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodicy If one studies the history of Western religions one discovers brutal pogroms, crusades, religious wars, all justified in the name of one or another of our religious institution's claims to absolute interpretive authority over THEIR deity. Did no one ever teach them to share? Where are the peace-makers? According to the latest poll results they are apparently being vastly outnumbered by the war makers. Kill, baby, kill! Or how many babies did you kill today? Spare us the pious ones!
