It really makes one wonder if, other than the religion they're wrapped around, there's any real difference between em, doesn't it ?
Well, if you take away that one biiiig difference in being willing to off people as easily as the Taliban does, there IS a certain similarity in the mentality...

Oh they're most certainly willing, but being the cowards they are, there's the problem of actually getting away with it cause we've always tried (and failed, IMHO, badly, as a general rule) to keep religion and government seperate, so there's at least the pretense which keeps a lid on that - besides which, what care they for burning a few pagans when they can have a taxpayer financed holy crusader against those infidels in the middle east, right ?

Cause to not admit there's a heavy chunk of that behind the current pair of wars, even amongst the high command, is to blind oneself to the obvious...

And that's another thing, they're very, VERY willing to send someone ELSE to die for their causes, not so very willing when their own is on the line - much in the same fashion that they're only brave enough to do that shit here when there's a pack of em, you know ?

Hell, it even extends to morality, since by choosing to believe that ANY offense will be forgiven cause they're all special and such, it makes em more inclined to commit them, but of course I happen to be of the opinion that's exactly what the monster they call a god wants anyways, as it produces more human misery for the blasted thing to feed on.

Once you remove the idea of accountability, even to themselves, from a person, empathy dies.
