Six years ago today the world was handed a fresh reminder of the evil that results from the kind of fanatical religious beliefs called Fundamentalism. Although it was Islamic Fundamentalists that used their hatred and intolerance to justify the horrors of September 11, only a few hours passed before Christian Fundamentalists began to cash in on the horror of that day and use it to promote their agenda of intolerance and social injustice.

Pond scum like Pat Robertson and the still-dead Jerry Falwell hastened to blame the proponents of civil rights for women and gay people for the horrors that were actually perpetrated by their cousins that spread hatred in mosques instead of churches. They used this tragedy to increase their cash flow and bolster the idiocy of the fools that follow them because they fail to see the villainy that is always part and parcel of fundamentalist religious dogma.

According to Wiktionary, fundamentalism in the theological context is

A conservative movement in theology among 19th century and 12th century Christians, in reaction to modernism and that stresses the infallibility of the Bible not only in matters of faith and morals but also as a literal historical record, holding as essential to Christian faith belief in such doctrines as the creation of the world, the virgin birth, physical resurrection, atonement by the sacrificial death of Christ, and the Second Coming.

Fundamentalist Islamists hate Christians because their brand of stupidity is the One True Religion and no other should be tolerated, while Fundamentalist Christians hate Muslims because their brand of stupidity is the One True Religion and no other should be tolerated.

The lesson that should be learned from 9/11 is very clear and easy to understand. As a species, if we wish to survive, it is long past the time when we should all join together and "Just say NO to Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddies".

Have you ridiculed a religion yet today?
