“They are simple Christians,”

Yeah, they’re simple all right. What a bunch of morons.

And if the adults want to blow themselves up, have at it. But why do they have to drag innocent children along? Truly pathetic.

The atheism tied to Soviet domination was and still is a real issue in the ex-Soviet states as well, and it has led to a lot of religious resurgence in recent decades. It's a complex issue and you don't do it justice with your snarky comment here. I'd love to see a serious discussion of this topic.<br /> No, you totally misundersand the mindset of that part of the world.

People who are willing to commit suicide and kill their own children over an imaginary being aren't going to get any respect from me. The religious mindset is no different there than anywhere else.

When we're talking religion and mindset it undoubtedly has far less to do with previous Soviet domination than the normal idiocy of misguided individuals who need to believe in a magic being who will protect and look out for them.<br /> <br /> If you are correct, then to what to you attribute the mushrooming of fundies in this country where atheism was never state enforced? I’m with you, Tarma.
