God's Warriors (CNN)

This might be of interest to some on this forum. CNN has produced a three part documentary exploring the beliefs, practices, and political/criminal activity of the three major flavors of fundamentalist nutcases in Western religions: Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

God's Warriors CNN

Although the series concluded last night, you can watch them on Youtube by searching for "God's Warriors." (There also might be rebroadcasts, I dunno.)

I've only watched the Jewish episode so far. For those of us who do not suffer from the God delusion, it's pretty scary to actually watch these lunatics spout their nonsense, and what crazy stuff they are willing to do as justified by their irrational faith. Much of the Jewish episode focused on the violent conflicts caused by, as Sam Harris aptly put it, God's apparent role as an omnipotent real-estate broker. (Or something like that.)

The Jewish nutcases are probably the most benign overall. I shudder to think what the Muslim and Christian episodes are going to show.
