I think America & Israel give the wrong impression to the rest of
the world sometimes. Unfortunately Britain gets dragged along with it too.
What we fail to remember is that to the average middle-eastern citizen it
is the West who appears to be the terrorists. Sharon is is a bad as Sadam.
In the longer term we have to refute the supernaturalist fallacy more
forecefully. When will the world grow out of such fairy stories ...
Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism & Islam are all equally as absurd.
Religion provides the ideological underpinning both for bin Laden
and for the frothing-at-the-mouth American fundamentalist Xians.
Perhaps in order to discredit supernaturalism we have to demonstrate
how to acheive the same (mainly psychological effects) naturally.
Nietzche in "Anti-Christ" perhaps first unearthed some of the paradoxes
involved in this process. Human-been culture has had its day.
In the Great Work!
