Or...

We realize that there is little need to understand a spiritual or philosophical world in order to wage war. Whatever beliefs one might hold will not deflect a bullet; nor has a prayer ever kept a bomb from dropping out of the sky (or a plane from hitting a building).

I could care less whether their beef with us is based on religion, politics, or the price of cocaine in Saim. If there's a god in this, it doesn't matter.

"Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it, religion has actually convinced people that there's an INVISIBLE MAN...LIVING IN THE SKY...who watches every thing you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten special things that he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry for ever and ever ´til the end of time...but he loves you."

-George Carlin

We? Got a mouse in your pocket or what? What's with the we stuff? Are you royalty or something? To make such inane comments about belief and prayer simply displays the contempt you hold towards people of faith. Who are you to say such things with such certainty and authority? I would put to you this simple truth: He who holds to no truths worth dying for, truly has nothing worth living for and is not to be trusted.
