Subject: [Phys-L] Imagine a World Without Religion
In response to a Los Angeles Times editorial "The right to mock religion" of 08 Jan 2015, a reaction to the religion-inspired Charlie Hebdo massacre <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo>, a reader transmitted this provocative letter to the editor:
***************************************************
Imagine a World Without Religion.
No 9/11, no crusaders, no India/Pakistsan partition, no Israeli/Palestinian wars, no Serb/Croate/Muslim mass persecutions, no "honor killings," no bouffant-haired televangelists fleecing the gullible for their money.
God? His big mistake was turning religion over to man.
