These people are caught in the seventh century. This is really sick.
And won't to drag us back there with them.
Truer words never spoken.
From what has become an increasingly prophetic book, Bloom's The Lucifer Principle
"The leaders of our religion were all soldiers, commanders and warriors," he wrote, "...they killed and they were killed." The concept of a peaceful prophet was so alien to the ayatollah that he was convinced Christ's message had been deliberately distorted by Westerners. Said Khomeini, "This idea of turning the other cheek has been wrongly attributed to Jesus (peace be unto him); it is those barbaric imperialists that have attributed it to him. Jesus was a prophet, and no prophet can be so illogical."
