"But ideas have consequences!"
"When people believe that a deranged, murderous, petty, maniacal God as described in the Old Testament and/or a son-murdering, hell-threatening God as described in the New Testament embody all of reality, and that there is no escape from an eventual eternity of either kissing or cursing the deity's royal ass in some magical place called heaven or hell, well, that's when flying planes into buildings starts to make a bit of sense. Ideas indeed have consequences."
