| U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair--are both deeply religious men
"Religion is the most dangerous energy source known to humankind. The moment a person (or government or religion or organization) is convinced that God is either ordering or sanctioning a cause or project, anything goes. The history, worldwide, of religion-fueled hate, killing, and oppression is staggering." —Eugene Peterson (from the introduction to the book of Amos in the Bible paraphrase The Message) |
