so, they're organic?

I don't know about their 'organic' qualities, but since the Koran was passed down a few years before Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and others started making pesticides I would presume that the raisins that the muslim suicide bombers received for their carnage would indeed be 'organic."

But as Hitchens points out, most religions were started by people who couldn't even read and then hundreds of years later these myths and legends were continually passed down and eventually written down. So the authors of these religions wouldn't know what organic means.

If we are fortunate in the years to come most people will feel it is just as foolish to worship jesus or mohammed as most people feel today about worshipping Zeus or Thor or some other manmade myth. Zeus, Thor, Jesus, Mohammod - there all the same really.
