Good thing all this bloodshed wasn't over something trivial and silly...

Ah - religious violence in creases, I see. What they need is some sort of blame figure, a scapegoat if you will:
Quote:"It was a devil's moment," Wehba said Thursday at the home of her Muslim neighbors, who have taken her in. "Whoever caused this was the devil's son."
Well, that's handy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

This just blows my fucking mind. The fact that a human being could kill another, in such a violent way no less, over something so trivial is something my brain struggles to comprehend.

I saw the word 'copts' and honestly read it as 'copouts'. I really must get the batteries changed in these glasses.
