    Is there any doubt that religion is the cause of this behavior? And if so here, why not for Islamic terrorism? http://apne.ws/12Feqaz

        @SamHarrisOrg You need to familiarize yourself with Dr. Robert Pape's work.

        @SamHarrisOrg Hmm interesting. Question, if Allah, paradise, 72 virgins, etc. don't objectively exist, then are they not metaphors for more

        @SamHarrisOrg policies. It's what communities do in response to the loss of autonomy. They manufacture transformative myth to cope.

        @SamHarrisOrg I have doubts about whether religion is the cause or the excuse for it. Difficult to establish.

        @SamHarrisOrg Not really. I may very well be wrong, but I don't see a reasoning flaw. More likely I'm missing elements.

        @SamHarrisOrg some people are idiots, many of them are religious. Idiocy is the cause of this, religion just bolsters this idiocy.

        @SamHarrisOrg this behaviour is a consequence of a bad interpretation of any religion.

        @SamHarrisOrg people understand what they want. They only think in their own benefit. All the religion are clear examples

        @SamHarrisOrg I lose hope for humanity when I see so many people who can't make the obvious connection between bad beliefs and bad actions.

        @SamHarrisOrg Yes there is doubt. Religion is the justification but psychological health and well-being (lack thereof) is the sickness.
