I am just going to tackle #3
Quote:3) There is nothing inherently wrong with a person of faith acting based on his understanding of that faith and his belief in what God intends for him and circles of society around him.
Even if that person is Osama bin Laden?
A thousand years from now it will be written that for ten thousand years human beings fought and died over beliefs in such things as mythical beasts and supernatural beings, that cities and nations were leveled because one group decreed the beliefs of another false while they faced the same accusation from a third and a fourth group. Finally, exhausted by millenia of conflict based on imaginary beings, humans accepted their own humanity and found that it, not some other power, made them whole and worthy and at last they could embrace all other humans as equals.
And the bells rang out
throughout the earth and stars
and lovelight reigned supreme.
