I've had some version of this question cross my mind countless times since 9/11/01. It always goes something like this - Is it possible that all the goodness in the world that can be attributable to religion really outweigh all the evil in the world attributable to the same? In light of recent events I think I finally have my answer and it is a resounding NO.
To paraphrase a great Woody Allen joke - If God ever came back to earth and saw everything that was being done in his name, he'd never stop throwing up.
