more warriors...

finished watching cnn's documentary last night about God's Warriors. thought provoking? yes. sufficiently in-depth with regard to world dynamic and social change? no! i find it hard to believe that Judaism, Islam, and Christianity attempt a morale high-ground while passively condoning the rise of extremist sects within their denominations. that kind of passive empowerment seems like some sort of manipulation geared to allow fear to fester among other factions. unless, like they said - moderates don't make the news. it still reminds me of a team allowing a few demented and steroid aggressive thugs to remain on your football team because they make the plays you need them to and they intimidate the hell out of your opponents. even though their behavior might be publicly denounced they're still allowed to remain on the team. in using that analogy, i find it interesting how acceptance of behavior evolves in our kulture. it disturbs me how the line is being blurred between religion, government, and law. but hey, what'd we xpect cowboy?
