I'm sure I miss the point of your juxtaposition of these, Too New Key. Just for a second there I thought you were insinuating that Bennett's argument would necessarily dismiss Kolbe as an example of "people who desperately want to become martyrs". Kolbe and Arab teenager with bomb vest as equals.

Then I thought, no, that's too unoptimistic.

I'm not sure I understand the juxtaposition either. Are you inferring that had the priest not had his religion that he would not have acted so selflessly? Are you inferring that folks who don't have religion would never dream of acting selflessly? In my experience the priest's selflessness is much more likely to be carried out by folks who don't have a religion. My hunch is that this priest would have probably shaken his head in shame at the folks who cheered the Saddam hanging, too. What gives? What's your point? Did you have a point?kb

there's always a reason why people do things. Had the priest not had his religion he would never dream of acting selflessly. without a good reason people would not act selflessly. would you? Do you think Christ would have died for us if he didn't have a good reason? what i'm saying might be BS but listen to what Tanuki is saying...
