I recently read the following: “One in four younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings to defend their religion are acceptable at least in some circumstances.”
These are US youths and not some third world kids. Although I admire anyone’s devout following of a religion or cause that would transcend our material existence, I find it hard to comprehend any teaching that so minimizes the value of life. It is understandable that people in a substandard standard of living embrace an after life to help them cope with their existence as it is today. But, these kids live in what is truly the “land of milk and honey”. What is missing to drive them to think it is acceptable to forfeit one’s life along with others in the name of a Deity?
My God loves ALL of us and has no religion dictating his will.

Many of us talk the talk and do not walk the walk.
We may teach love of our fellow man but do we practice it?
If Christians really loved the Lord, our God, with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind and loved our neighbor as ourselves then would there still be poverty, famine, prejudice, and injustice in the world?
With love in Christ.

"Where have we failed in teaching love of our fellow man?"
Maybe by example. I don't see many examples of love in America. I see examples of selfishness.
