Is there any hope that people here will choose rationalism over religious extremism?

Answer 1

I choose that a long time ago ;-)

Answer 2

There is always hope. But a few always seem to be pulled to the easy way of not thinking for themselves.

Religious extremists are best brought back to the moderate position by fellow believers.

Radical Christians should be counseled by moderate Christians.

Radical Jews should be counseled by moderate Jews.

Radical Muslims should be counseled by moderate Muslims.

Whenever moderate As or moderate Bs feel so threatened by radical Cs that they must take action, all hell can break out.

With love in Christ.
