This post is not about our Second Amendment to the United States Constitution (for the record I don't think weakening gun laws is a good idea). What's interesting to me in this cartoon is the trillion or more dollars of taxpayer money we have spent to defend ourselves from religious violence.

My point is religion is expensive. For everyone. Including me. And for some reason that bugs me.

In a world without religious stupidity, in a world without the cowardly idiotic childish belief in heaven that most Americans share with terrorists, the World Trade Center towers would still be standing, thousands of innocent people would still be alive, and that trillion dollars could have been used for something more important, for example giving it back to the taxpayers because it's their money.

I'm writing this just in case any Christian assholes visit and they wonder why I have so much contempt for their medieval superstitions and their breathtaking stupidity.
